INTERNET The European Union just put their new law to protect personal data of its citizens, called GDPR. Does it affect Pakistan? The European Union recently passed a new legislation, called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to protect its citizens’ privacy and to control companies that collect and store their data. The law has already come into effect and changes rules for companies that deal with data of European citizens. Such companies are now legally bound in the 28-member EU and will face severe penalties if they fail to abide. The GDPR was introduced two years ago in April 2016 and companies were given a two-year period to comply. It requires companies to be more open with their users about how their personal data is being used, while also ensuring complete transparency about where the data goes, with whom it gets shared with, and vice versa. The Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal caused a massive privacy uproar, as the socia...

It has an 18:9 tall display and impressive dual cameras. The company’s smartphones have always been vibrant, and usually feature a unique design. Same goes to the M6T, it’s a good-looking device that has been launched a few days after the company launched the  Meizu M8c.

We have all heard the catchy phrase “When in doubt, travel!” The thing about traveling is that you learn more on an excursion than you do reading a dozen books on a topic.
