Background
1. Threat to Privacy - The bill may grant excessive powers to government agencies, allowing unprecedented access to personal data without sufficient oversight.
2. Erosion of Digital Rights - Increased data collection and surveillance could infringe upon the rights to privacy
3. Lack of Transparency and Accountability-concerns about how the collected data will be used, stored, and shared, with insufficient safeguards against misuse.
4. Potential for Abuse
5. Impact on Businesses and Innovation
