Information and Communication Technology Act, 2006

The Information and Communication Technology Act, 2006 is an act passed by the Parliament of Bangladesh in 2006 to promote and regulate ICT services in the country. Cybercrimes in Bangladesh are adjudicated by cyber tribunals established under this Act. The act was further revised through an amendment in 2013. However, the law became controversial due to certain provisions that were seen as threats to freedom of speech. Section 57, in particular, drew significant criticism and was eventually replaced by the controversial Digital Security Act.
