From following news report, you would think that Shri
Kapil Sibal is afraid of year 2024 when “ Big Brother “ ( the almighty Surveillance
State ) would be watching us 24*7
================================
"Big
brother is constantly watching us... Why should the big brother have data ? He may use it," senior lawyer Kapil Sibal
told a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court
Mr Sibal was also seen to counter suggestions that people
could take remedial measures. "By the time, individuals come to court,
years will pass and big brother will become bigger "
Dear Shri Sibal ,
For your information
, Big Brother is already present in your office , your home , in your car and
even in the smart phone in your pocket !
In case you want to
know “ How Big ? “ , do spare 10 minutes to read :

The
Beginner’s Guide To Online Privacy
[ 29 Jan 2018

Extract
from this article :
Hopefully, by the end of this article, you’ll
review your thoughts about online privacy.
Before
moving on, take a moment and consider how would you feel if you had to share
the following information about you with a group of 200 strangers:
·
where are you located
(geographically)
·
when do you surf the Internet
and for how long
·
what is the list of all sites
you are visiting on each day
·
what illnesses (if any) you
have that you searched online
·
what types of products you
buy online
·
what devices you use to
connect to the Internet
·
what type of content you
prefer to read
·
what type of food you prefer
to eat
·
what your political views are
The list can continue, but let’s stop here.
Probably you wouldn’t share all this information with your friends, not to
mention strangers.
However,
the reality is that today many people unwillingly and unconsciously are already
sharing such data about themselves to “strangers” in companies who collect this
data to benefit from it.
Or , you may want to look up my following
