Prime Minister Andrew Holness has acknowledged the need to strike a balance between protecting freedom of expression and ensuring the responsible and ethical use of technology. 
 
The Prime Minister addressed the matter after a meeting of the National Security Council on Friday.
 
He said legislative gaps relating to cybercrimes and the misuse of social media platforms have created new threats and challenges to the safety and security of citizens and the state.
 
The Prime Minister noted that cyber threats range from public mischief, reputational damage, harassment and bullying, extortion, to attacks on the banking & financial systems, and state entities.
