Learn to protect your Privacy and Anonymity

The new book "The Art of Cyber Law & Cyber Crimes" by eminent Supreme Court advocate Dr. Newal Chaudhary provides important insights on protecting privacy and anonymity in the digital age. Published by Mission Legal Services Pvt.Ltd, this insightful 1st edition was released in 2023 with a thoughtful foreword by the Campus Chief of Nepal Law Campus, Dr. DN Parajuli. Dr. Newal Chaudhary, an Assistant Professor of Nepal Law Campus and former Executive Director of the Greater Janakpur Area Development Council, draws on his extensive experience advocating cybercrime cases and researching cyber law to emphasize that privacy is not an unattainable myth. With numerous examples from his advocacy work and research, Dr. Chaudhary argues that individuals can and should take steps to protect their privacy and anonymity in the digital sphere. He provides practical tips like using encrypted messaging apps, securing devices with passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and minimizing unnecessary personal data sharing online.

Dr. Chaudhary also advocates for stronger laws and corporate policies to safeguard individual privacy. As he rightly states, "Privacy is a fundamental human right that is increasingly threatened in the digital age." Companies collect vast amounts of data often without consent, and security breaches expose sensitive information. Dr. Chaudhary warns that losing control over one's personal data can enable surveillance, discrimination, manipulation, and loss of autonomy. However, he remains optimistic that with greater awareness, the adoption of privacy-enhancing tools, and better rules and incentives, individuals can reclaim power over their data and preserve dignity in the digital world. By illuminating the importance of privacy and how to achieve it, Dr. Chaudhary's excellent new book provides a valuable resource for anyone wishing to protect themselves in the information age. The Author has clearly classified that this book is not only a textbook which is for law student but for all the persons who uses the internet in this digital age. From my perspective, it can be stated that this is one of the best books on cyber law and cybercrime which all Nepalese citizens should prefer to read.
