Justification This definition should be omitted as a) it is too broad; b) it has been directly copy pasted from the PTA Act and intended to empower the Authority with content management powers. All definitions should be brought in line with globally compatible and accepted ones, as they exist in other laws: e.g. other types of data i.e. traffic and content data; information, systems etc should be defined separately.
Examples from existing laws, other jurisdictions & conventions For definitions, refer to the Budapest Convention See PECB’14 as approved by the Cabinet Division for some of these definitions
