The changes follow recommendations made by a Joint Select Committee in 2023, which reviewed the 2015 Act in light of growing cyber threats and the increasing use of digital platforms for criminal activity. Furthermore, Member of Parliament for St Andrew South Eastern Julian Robinson stressed that cyber legislation differs from most other laws because of the speed at which technology evolves. He reminded the House that the Joint Select Committee had completed its work in May 2023, yet the amendments only returned to Parliament in 2026. Meanwhile, Member of Parliament for St Andrew South Western Angela Brown Burke raised concerns about the scope and strength of the proposed amendments, particularly in relation to penalties and enforcement. She further called for broader consideration of emerging cyber threats, including spam and digital exploitation, and supported proposals to empower authorities to seize devices used in cybercrime.
