Although nothing is yet set in stone, this law could have the potential to limit the spread of sensitive information and allows the control of any negative propaganda from the battlefield that could adversely affect the morale of the troops. It could also help improve the overall operational security in the conflict zone. The exact sanctions that would be implemented for these offenses remain undisclosed but may include fines, imprisonment, or other forms of disciplinary action.
