The new minister of Telecommunication Johnny Corm suggested today during a TV interview that he’s considering selling user data to private companies in order to increase the ministry’s revenues. When asked if this data will be confidential or not, he stated that he has set up a committee to make sure they’re not violating users’ privacy and security.

However, this committee cannot be trusted and as suggested by SMEX, we need a legal committee to oversee selling any data by the ministry to any third party.
