In May 2025, Bangladesh approved the Cyber Security Ordinance 2025, marking significant reform in cybersecurity and digital communications law.

Some major changes include:

1. Repeal of nine sections from the 2023 law, resulting in automatic dismissal of about 95% of ongoing cases that were filed under those sections.
2. More offences are now bailable, particularly those involving speech or opinions. Previously, many speech-related cyber offences were non-bailable.
3. Increased punishment for filing false allegations.
4. Recognition of internet access as a civic right.
