As Madagascar pursues its digital transformation, the question of regulating cybercrime is becoming increasingly important. For Fenitra Ravelomanantsoa, a legal expert specializing in digital matters, the country must now have a legal framework adapted to new threats, without neglecting the protection of fundamental freedoms. Fenitra Ravelomanantsoa has worked at Google for nearly 10 years and founded the Maison du Numérique. With the generalization of the Internet, Mobile Money, and more recently artificial intelligence, usage patterns are changing rapidly. Risks are evolving too. Cyberstalking, sextortion, child pornography, online fraud, and fake profiles are among the phenomena that legislation must now address. The proposed cybercrime bill includes notably strengthened penalties against various forms of digital crime. Financial traceability measures are also planned, including a requirement to report suspicious Mobile Money transactions reaching or exceeding 10 million ariary. The text also provides for stricter SIM card identification. For Fenitra Ravelomanantsoa, these provisions respond to a real need. "Madagascar needs effective digital legislation," he believes. Such an evolution should better protect citizens, businesses, and institutions. But it must, according to him, be accompanied by sufficient safeguards. The role of justice. Among the points that catch his attention is the role given to administrative authorities in digital investigations. The legal expert considers that certain decisions must remain under the control of an independent judicial authority, particularly when they may affect individual rights. The separation of powers remains, in his view, an essential element. Equal vigilance concerning freedom of expression and data protection. Rules that are too broad or insufficiently precise could raise new concerns among users and industry players. "Digital technology must be a vector for growth, not an additional source of mistrust," emphasizes Fenitra Ravelomanantsoa. A matter of trust. Beyond fighting crime, the legal expert believes the challenge is also to create a digital environment in which citizens feel confident. Young people must be able to develop their projects, businesses invest, and users access digital services without fearing for their data or freedoms. Madagascar is not alone in seeking this balance. Fenitra Ravelomanantsoa cites notably the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime and the Malabo Convention, ratified by Madagascar, among existing international references. A former legal expert at AXA Group Solutions and later a manager at Google on cloud regulation, data protection, and regulator relations, Fenitra Ravelomanantsoa returned to Madagascar after nearly twenty years abroad. He founded the Maison du Numérique in Madagascar in November 2023. For him, the question is not simply whether to be "for" or "against" a cybercrime law. The real challenge remains finding the balance between security, digital development, trust, and individual freedoms.
