Dear Shri Rajeev Chandrasekharji,
For over 4 years now, I have been suggesting / advocating
/ pleading :
Ø As drafted ( and revised by JPC ), Data Protection Bill is UNIMPLEMENTABLE and must be scrapped
Ø A new
bill should be introduced which shifts the focus from PROTECTION to MONETIZATION of data
Ø If someone still does not admit that “ PRIVACY
IS DEAD “, let her wait ( another 2 years ? ), by which time, following
technologies would RULE the WORLD of PERSONAL DATA :
AI – ML – BLOCKCHAIN – 5G – GPT 3 – WuDAO 2 – METAVERSE – AR – VR –
HOLOGRAPHIC MEETINGS – CONVERSATION BOTS – NLP – ( I am sure, you know of a lot
more )
I strongly urge that you
get NASSCOM to examine / evaluate, my following alternative :

Fresh
legislation may replace data protection bill / Eco Times / 17 Feb 2022
Extract :
Ø India may draft a completely new privacy bill, by putting aside the current version of the Personal Data Protection Bill
2019
Ø Among the options being discussed is the introduction of fresh legislation that can cater
to the on-going " sea
change in the local and global technology
( environment ) "
Ø A better option is to bring a new
Bill altogether which is aligned with the current
times
Ø Time is of the
essence here and we must
understand that very clearly
Ø The Privacy Bill is a marquee piece of legislation
which was supposed to give India — one of the world’s largest Internet markets
— a regulatory framework for the first time.
India
needs a new digital law: Rajeev Chandrasekhar / TNN /
Feb 17, 2022
Extract :
Ø Union minister of state
for electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said India needs a new
digital law as the current
legislation, the IT Act, is 20 years-old.
Ø “We need a law for the internet. It’s important to get the next bit of
legislation right in terms of its ability for it to be flexible and evolutionary,”
he said
Ø “ I don’t want to rush into something and then
go back with more amendments. The world needs to get a signal that India's cyber space is safe, trusted, open and accountable and
most importantly very predictable in
terms of what the jurisprudence around it is.”
Ø We
have a lot to teach the world in terms of how we manage digitisation,
increase digital adoption, inclusion and access to all
Over
Concentration of Data increases the risk Digital Dictatorship and Data
Colonialism / BL
/ 17 Feb 2022
Extract :
Ø
Over
concentration of data into a
corporation, a government agency or amongst a few countries increases the risk
of ‘ data colonialism ’ and ‘ digital dictatorship ’, said writer and
historian Yuval Noah Harari.
Ø
It is the
first time in the human history that we have a possibility to follow everybody all the time, to get to know you better than you know yourself.
Ø
In the 21st
century, to conquer a country you don’t need to send the soldiers, you need to
get their data. Imagine a situation in
10-20 years, when somebody in China
or US has the personal records and data of every politician, judge,
journalists and military officers – every conversation they had and
jokes they told. It’s no longer an independent country, it’s a data colony.”
Ø
Explaining
through his example, Harari said, “All of these sophisticated technologies like
AI & ML are produced in a few countries and can be used to exploit the rest of the world. It’s a big challenge for countries all over
the world – how to prevent both these dangers. Don’t concentrate too much data
internally and create digital
dictatorship. Also, don’t allow too much data to be concentrated outside to
become data colony.”
Ø
Harari
suggests that there needs to be a power
balance top-down through
proper surveillance of the individuals sharing data as well as the corporations
gathering that data.
Ø
Governments
have the power to regulate AI to prevent the worst-case scenarios. There a few
principles one can follow.
Ø
One of them
is when somebody is collecting my data, it should be used to help me and not to manipulate me. This
should be the key principle whether
it’s a corporation or government agency.
Ø
Another key
principle, never allow too much of data to be concentrated into one place. Over concentration of data is a high road to
digital dictatorship.”
Ø
He added,
“Additionally, when you increase surveillance of an individual, you must
simultaneously increase surveillance
of the government or the corporation. So, it’s not just top-down surveillance, it’s a balance
on both ends.”
