Enforcing is difficult ?
A few days back , Shri B N Srikrishna ( of committee for
drafting “ DATA PROTECTION LAW “ ) . said :
“ Drafting a Data Protection Law is not so difficult but
enforcing it will be very difficult “
Why ?
First reason :
Courts will find it extremely difficult ( if not
impossible ) to “ interpret “ correctly , the “ intended meaning “ of the
following terms / words , likely to be used in that law :
# Private
# Data
# App
# Permission
# Access
# Download
# Sign
# Rights
# Own
# Personal
# Share
# Entity
# Processing
# Obligation
# Handling
# Collection
# Use
Second Reason :
Technology for collecting / compiling, personal / private
data of unsuspecting citizens through use of AI is expanding by the hour !
After looking at the following announcements in the
past few months , I wonder if the proposed law will become “ obsolete “ by the
time President signs it :
*
Seeing AI
* Privacy-invading
Apps

I have a lurking suspicion that enforcing any DATA PROTECTION
LAW is more likely to be impossible than merely difficult !
With millions of manufacturers ( located all over the
world and beyond Indian jurisdiction ) of
,
IoT DEVICES
/ MOBILE TELEPHONE SERVICES /
INTERNET SERVICES / MOBILE APPS
/ OPERATING SYSTEMS
/ E COMMERCE PORTALS
/ ONLINE HEALTHCARE
SERVICES / FINTECH
SERVICES / MOBILE WALLETS /
ONLINE BANKING /
CREDIT-DEBIT CARDS / ATMS
,,,,etc etc ,
- who will you catch ( for alleged breaking of Data
Protection Law ) , how will you prove guilt and how long might that take ?
And remember , every law that everyone gets obliged to
break , on almost daily basis , and whose enforcement is impossible , gives
rise to massive corruption by a tribe called “ Law Enforcement Agencies “ !
Like paying haftas for everything you do to
survive !
