The world is growing rapidly with
various technologies, and accordingly the illegal activities are being
increased by adopting these new technologies. Every country has their own laws
and regulations. In the UK people are convicted under the Computer Misuse Act
1990 for illegal activities, which are done with the help of technologies, and
there are evidences proved that many people have been sentenced under those
laws (Turner, M., 2013).Apart from that, there are few regulations such as
RIPA 2000, which gives power to certain authorities in the UK to carry out
surveillance or intercepting the communications against a person for a specific
reason. The question is that how these laws are being used effectively and reasonably?
Gaining information illegally or by misusing the power of rights is against the
law and publishing this information is unethical and against Media Regulations.
