    NEW DELHI: Publishing and transmitting obscene material in electronic form besides other e-commerce frauds will now be punishable under the
    amended IT Bill, which was today passed by the Lok Sabha.

    The Information Technology (Amendment) Bill, 2006, adds provisions to the existing Information Technology Act, 2000, to deal with new forms of cyber crimes like publicising sexually explicit material in electronic form, video voyeurism and breach of confidentiality and leakage of data by intermediary and e-commerce frauds.
