Cybercrime law promulgated in Ramallah on 29 April 2018; Art. 55 repealed Law by Decree No. 16 of 2017 on Cybercrime. Law by Decree No. 28 of 2020 amended it. Its offences include unauthorised access, malicious software, electronic payment-device fraud and fraud through networks (Arts. 4-14); it also sets service-provider duties (Art. 31) and search and interception powers. It is a criminal law, not a data protection law.
