True.

New technologies (cloud storage, social media, messaging apps, AI systems, IoT, encryption, algorithmic decision-making, etc.) create new types of records, metadata, formats, storage locations and third‑party issues that existing FOI laws may not address. Periodic revision is needed to clarify scope, exemptions, retention, formats, access procedures and oversight so the law remains effective and transparent.
