The telecom minister called for the training of parents and teachers on cybercrime
Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Minister Mustafa Jabbar has called on parents to take responsibility for building a healthy cyber generation. Therefore, he has emphasized creating awareness from the grassroots to the family.
Speaking as the chief guest at the launch of the 'Cyber Crime Trends in Bangladesh-2021' research report on the occasion of the 6th founding anniversary of the CCA Foundation on Friday, the minister urged organizations like CCA Foundation to come forward to train parents and teachers on digital security.
Noting that even one percent of parents still do not use parental control of digital devices, the minister said, "The more digital we are, the more digital crime will increase." So everyone has to be careful about this now.
Speaking as the chief guest on the occasion, the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications said that the pattern of digital crime is changing so fast that the law needs to be changed accordingly. I came to The law that was executed in 2018 and in 2021, I saw that nothing has been added to that law which is now in effect. For example, in that law of 2018, we did not define social media. Now if there is any crime through this, if you ask them for any help, in most cases we do not get the expected answer. The militancy we have here is what they call freedom of speech under their community guidelines.
Mustafa Jabbar said the capacity of the police has increased centrally in the last few years. Despite the increase in their skills, the spread of this crime has now reached the villages. Therefore, every police station is trying to increase the use of technology in crime detection. Meanwhile, demand has been made to the Home Minister for a digital security unit in each police station to curb cybercrime.
Besides, the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications also emphasized the special training of all parties involved in the judicial process, such as judges and lawyers, for the trial of these crimes.
