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.
In response to Iran Press on the Guardian Council's approach to the 'Cyberspace Protection plan', Hadi Tahan-Nazif said: "We declare whatever is prohibited by law, but we cannot comment on it until we see the original text."
He said: "Sometimes the passage of a law has many ups and downs, in such plans that is crucial, more consensus is required."
He noted that the opponents and proponents of the plan should take them on the subject in a scientific and logical manner.
He expressed hope to have a qualified law, if the plan is passed.
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.
