The composition of the national cybersecurity commission will also be changed. It may order a government agency or the private sector to do or not to do anything. It can also access digital data of government agencies and the private sector when there are threats," he said. Some argued the definition of cyber was too broad and the power that extended to the private sector might restrict civil rights and liberties.
