Technological regulation refers to laws and policies implemented by governments to control and manage the development, use, and impact of technology in society. It aims to ensure ethical practices, protect consumer rights, and maintain public safety.
Imagine technological regulation as traffic rules on a busy road. Just like traffic rules help maintain order and prevent accidents, technological regulations establish guidelines for responsible technology use to avoid potential harm or misuse.
Privacy Laws: Privacy laws are regulations designed to protect individuals' personal information from unauthorized access or misuse by organizations.
Cybersecurity Measures: Cybersecurity measures involve strategies and protocols implemented to safeguard computer systems and networks against unauthorized access or attacks.
