I would like to relate this to UG laws if you folks don't mind: In the case of UG, under which act would this surface?
Also, UG is currently registering mobile phone sim cards more like a form of identification for the public (so do some Telco radio ads suggest), but under what act are the offenders to be charged? (Coz in the eyes of the law, you could look at three possible culprits, that is the Telcos, the gov't, and members of the public) In some countries, you may find offenses could come from breach of acts like: Sarbanes-Oxley (publicly traded data), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), Gramm Leach Bliley Act (Financial Data), Computer Abuse and Misuse Act 1984 (Federal Interest Computers), Patriot Act 2001 (the name of the act sounds good, probably whats in there is also that good), Privacy Act 1974, EU-US safe harbor, etc Could anyone provide a link to what could be the equivalent of that in UG?
