Antigua Enacts Digital Evidence Law

Antigua Enacts Digital Evidence Law

Published 2 days, 23 hours ago
Description

Antigua and Barbuda just passed a bold new law that could slap companies and individuals with up to $1 million in fines if they refuse to hand over digital evidence during criminal investigations. Designed to break down roadblocks for law enforcement—like missing phone records or social media trails—the amendment forces tech firms to appoint local representatives who can respond to lawful data requests. It’s a direct move to hold everyone accountable in the digital age, especially as cybercrime and fraud grow more sophisticated. Even the Education Minister shared a personal fraud scare, underscoring the real stakes. This isn’t just about catching criminals—it’s about modernizing justice to keep pace with the digital world.
