Two percent of banking transaction revenue was allocated to the "FATA Police"

The Islamic Consultative Assembly approved that two percent of the income earned from transactions in the Iranian banking system will be allocated to the "FATA Police", which is responsible for monitoring the Internet and cyberspace.

According to a resolution passed by the Islamic Consultative Assembly on Monday, March 6, all banks and credit institutions were required to deposit two percent of the income from electronic banking system transactions into the national treasury so that 100 percent of this budget could be spent on strengthening the law enforcement force in the "information production and exchange space."

This is while the parliament is still drafting the "Protection of Cyberspace Users" bill, a bill that is cited as one of the main demands of the Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

On Friday, Morteza Agha Tehrani, head of the Islamic Consultative Assembly's Cultural Commission, said that the "explanation" regarding cyberspace is "very weak" and that "various enemies want cyberspace in Iran to be completely free so that they can implement their plans in this area."

Controlling cyberspace and dealing with what are called "moral crimes," "abnormalities," and "violations" are among the activities of the FATA police.

Setting up virtual stores on various social media platforms, including Instagram, has become one of the ways people earn money, and controlling this type of transactions can be considered one of the goals of increasing the financial credibility of the "information production and exchange space" police.
