SC: Stronger laws on personal info
needed |
|
Chief Justice Reynato Puno cites rising identity
theft cases in the US, passing of related laws in Europe
|
|
SUPREME Court Chief Justice Reynato Puno has
called on Congress for the crafting of tougher protective laws on
personal information privacy to serve as deterrent against identity
thieves.
Puno made the appeal in the wake of advances in
global information technology, making it easier for criminals to
steal one’s identity. He warned that identity theft could become a
real problem soon, unless measures are immediately put into place
to avert it from becoming a national problem, similar to what is
happening in other countries.
