Context :
We’ve
not leveraged Advantage of Being World’s Largest Data Market / Eco
Times – 30 Nov
Extract :
Ø The
interest of everyone is common, which is that we need
to protect the interests of India, Indians
and their privacy
Ø Our
only competitor is China, and they have not allowed the
entry of big tech companies into their markets. They are controlling the
technology, hardware and the AI.
Ø We have not leveraged our advantages. It has been 20
years of the IT Act and there has been no result.
Ø Why
should India not be a hub of AI revolution and
innovation?
Ø Through
this bill, the Committee wants to establish a rule-based open, just and
transparent system for the
good of the public
Ø Indian
engineers along with the enormous data are fantastic resources for the big
technology revolution
Ø Every
clause is being discussed, every opinion is being considered, and every
contrarian view is being debated for due consideration
Context :
JPC
Split Over Draft Data Privacy Law, Govt Access / Eco
Times – 30 Nov
Extract :
Ø A
senior member of the JPC from an opposition party suggested that Section 35
of the bill, which allows the Centre to exempt its agencies from some or all
provisions of the bill for national security and public order, should be
granted only if it is necessary, proportionate and
when public interest outweighs breaching the right to
privacy
Ø Similar
concerns were voiced by other members who said such processing of personal data
should not be permitted unless it is authorized pursuant
to a law, as recommended in the original draft of 2018
Ø Some
members want the section to be deleted, arguing that it can be subject to
government abuse and it runs contrary to Puttaswamy judgement that deals with
the Right to Privacy
===================================================
Dear Smt Meenakshiji,
Congratulations !
For
Ø Dexterous
handling of the deliberations of the JPC ( 30 meetings and counting ! )
Ø Plain-speaking
( eg: China vs India )
Ø Focusing
on much broader aspect of “ Interests of Indian Citizen
“ , rather than on narrow vision of “ Controlling of fake news / hate
speech “ etc
Ø Reposing
faith in the capabilities of Indian engineers to pull off a “ big technology revolution “
Ø Consensus-building
by encouraging debate on “ Contrarian Views “
Ø Wanting
to establish a “ rule-based open, just and transparent system for the good of the public “
===================================================
My Take :
[ A ] Section 35
As far as Section 35 is concerned, I urge Members of your committee to consider
my following suggestion which will adequately satisfy the needs of the
Government while protecting the privacy of the individuals, in a most
TRANSPARENT way :
Who
watches the Watchmen ? ……………………………[ 12 Jan 2019 ]
My proposal,
# Gives a free hand to the
Agencies to proceed with their investigations, without needing PRIOR PERMISSION
And
# Ensures total TRANSPARENCY of
their surveillance activities to the persons being investigated
This will assure the ordinary citizens (– and also “ vulnerable
“ citizens such as politicians belonging to opposition parties ? )– that they
are not being snooped upon secretly !
[ B ] Good of the
Public
The real issue here is :
Ø Every
time I click on any website , “ I agree
with your Terms / Conditions “ ( always without reading ), I am entering into a
“ one – to – one “ legally binding contract with that site , enabling it to collect
/ compile enormous personal data about myself
( Eg : What permissions I
gave to Google ? Read :
How
many Mobile Apps will you ban ? ………………[
24 Nov 2020 ]
Ø Like me , some 400 million Indian users have clicked YES –
and entered into such contracts with ( say ) 10 Social Media websites
That adds up to 4000 million “
Individual Contracts “ ! Does Data Protection Law consider these valid ?
Ø These sites are selling my PERSONAL DATA to advertisers and
earning BILLIONS of dollars each year . I get nothing for my very own personal
data ! I cannot demand any compensation ( as per contract )
Ø If someone hacks into the database of these sites and
steals millions of records, it is rarely reported . Even when reported, I have
no clue that my personal data was part of that theft !
Ø I would not be any wiser, even if I come to know that my
data got stolen ( or got sold ) , since I have no resources to fight a
court-case against that site ( even if I knew where to file a case. Under which
law ! )
My
suggested solution :
Ø All of these 4,000 million ( individual ) contracts to be
replaced with just 10 “ Sovereign Contracts “, to be entered into between GOI (
on behalf of Indian Users ) on one hand and those 10 websites on the other hand
. You can see : - it is possible to defend 10 contracts in a court of law – but
not 4000 million contracts !
Ø By nullifying those 4000 million individual contracts – and
through entering Sovereign Contracts, GOI will ensure that these Social Media
sites, COMPENSATE the users for using / selling their PERSONAL DATA
Ø My estimate is that this OVERARCHING FRAME-WORK / PLATFORM
, will enable each Indian User to receive from Social Media sites ( by way of
COMPENSATION ) , Rs 30,000 PER MONTH !
I urge the Members of your committee , to carefully
study the elaborate details of my proposal at :
Digital
Dividend from Demographic Data [ 4 D ]…………………..... [ 14 Feb 2019 ]
SARAL ( Single Authentic Registration
for Anywhere Login )…[ 10 Feb 2019 ]

===================================================
Dear Meenakshiji,
Ø If Members of your Committee have any reservations in respect of
the feasibility of my proposal, then I request you to forward these to the most
respected technology experts of our country and ask them to depose before the
committee .
Ø As you rightly observed, ” Indian engineers along with
the enormous data are fantastic resources for the big technology revolution “.
If given a challenge, they are capable of
a solution which will be far
better than what USA-UK-
