Stressing the need for an overhaul of the legal structure to tackle the threat of cybercrimes, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Monday said a consensus on striking a balance between the people's right to privacy and the need for regulation to protect their right to live in a peaceful manner was now emerging in the country.
The Minister of Railways, Communications and Electronics & Information Technology was speaking at the second national conference on "Cyber Crime Investigation & Digital Forensics" organised by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Stating that the legal structure should be overhauled in a big way, he said: "I don't think any incremental change will help, the change has to be substantial, significant, fundamental and structural."
