Mandatory SIM Card Re-registration Sparks Controversy: Privacy and Data Concerns Arise 

On October 31, the mandatory re-registration of SIM cards is set to commence, a move following the recommendations of the Drug Commission.

While the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA) sees this process as a means to bring order to the SIM card circulation across the country, it has already stirred up controversy.

Questions have been raised by lawyers, information experts, activists, and more, all wondering about the wisdom behind this decision.

Concerns revolve around privacy rights and the potential for data breaches, as this process obliges users to register personal information.

Users will have 6 months to get re-registered.
