As the internet is getting more and more widespread, there are growing concerns about cybersecurity. People are afraid of sharing their personal information, which is understandable: hackers and scammers can steal their personal information and extort money or benefit from them financially. We have to be more vigilant about our online activities. Since the internet is a virtual space, it does not have borders. As a result, nations cannot do much about it. However, they can regulate how websites should operate, just think of the the GDPR regulation: it is supposed to protect your personal data.
But the thing is, the internet is improving and nations cannot keep up with the latest developments, they will always lag behind. The Eu has its own regulations while the US has different regulations. I cannot see global collaboration, which does not seem to enhance global digital security. Hackers and scammers will always be one step ahead of nations. Is it possible that protecting civilians is not really the interest of countries? Thy are very vigilant about national security but they do not care much about the safety of people – this is what I see nut I might be wrong. I think it is the responsibility of the website owner to maintain a secured and safe website.
