Abstract In the rapidly evolving digital age, the landscape of cyber law is undergoing a significant transformation. With the proliferation of technology and increasing dependency on digital platforms, novel legal challenges have emerged that demand immediate attention and comprehensive regulation. This article critically analyzes the emerging contours of cyber law in India, with a forward-looking approach towards addressing future digital legal battles. The Introduction sets the context by exploring the evolution of cyber law and its current scope under the Information Technology Act, 2000, while highlighting the need for timely updates in line with global advancements.
Under the section Emerging Issues in Cyber Laws, the article delves into new-age challenges such as deepfakes, cyberstalking, data localization, artificial intelligence (AI) ethics, digital surveillance, and online harassment, which remain inadequately addressed by existing legislation. Special attention is given to the Legal Considerations of Cryptocurrencies, emphasizing the regulatory vacuum, jurisdictional conflicts, and the need for a coherent policy framework in the wake of decentralized financial technologies. The discussion further branches into Consumer Protection, analyzing data breaches, e-commerce frauds, misleading advertisements, and the role of intermediaries under the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.
