Iran Press/ Iran news: The plan to protect users' rights in cyberspace and organize social media was first published as a draft to support social media in the 10th Parliament. In the end, the review of this plan did not reach the life of this Parliament, and its review was left to the 11th Parliament with changes in it. In August 2021, the plan was announced in the 11th Parliament.
The Joint Commission of Parliament and Administration for the "Regulation of Cyberspace Plan" on Tuesday approved the general provisions of the plan.
The members of the commission approved the general points of the plan to protect the rights of users in cyberspace in the meeting of the commission with 18 votes in favor.
From the very beginning, the plan was widely criticized, including restrictions on cyber business and violations of citizenship and privacy, but each time its proponents claimed that the plan had changed. After a while, the Parliamentary Research Center also made major criticisms about the plan to protect the rights of users in cyberspace.
Mehrdad Goodarzvand Chegini, MP against raising the "Regulation of Cyberspace Plan" concurrent with reviewing the annual budget on Wednesday, said: "This plan, which has caused many criticism and insults in cyberspace, should be examined and debunked."
While Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf insisted that the plan is not on the agenda of the parliament as a priority, the MPs continued to call for further examination of the plan.
Mehrdad Goodarzvand Chegini further called for the plan to be considered in the open session of the parliament so that the people can be informed about what will be approved.
Rising commodity prices, red line in parliament
Members of the Iranian parliament referred the bill of eliminating the dollar worth 4,200 Tomans to the Joint Commission for further consideration due to the red line of the parliament to prevent the increase of the price of basic goods.
Following the study of the budget details, in the open session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (parliament), chaired by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the revenue section of the budget has been examined.
Among these, the 40% share of the General Development Fund in oil exports, setting the ceiling of revenue sources from oil and gas exports, and the parliament's permission to the government to compensate for the deficit of oil exports from the foreign exchange reserve fund is among the most important approvals of the nation's representatives.
The parliament also authorized municipalities to issue 3,000 billion tomans of Islamic financial bonds, develop public transportation, and renovate dilapidated houses.
