Data Protection Bill V 1.0 : RIP

 


 

Context :

Centre pulls data protection bill that fanned privacy fears / TelegraphIndia  /  04 Aug 2022

Extract :

On Wednesday, Ashwini Vaishnaw, minister for electronics and information technology, withdrew the bill in the Lok Sabha and said a new, comprehensive law would be prepared after considering all the suggestions made earlier.

 

MY  TAKE :

 

Dear Shri Vaishnawji,

In case you did not get a chance to :

Ø  Examine my “ reservations “ re the old Bill , and

Ø  Carefully study the merits of my “ suggestions “ for its modifications , then

         I urge you to take very close look at the following e-mails sent to you and to your predecessor

The biggest drawbacks of the old Bill were :

#    Interests of Users of Social Media ( 700 – 800 million ) were totally neglected !

#    Interests of Data Intermediaries and Data Thieves were sought to be protected

#    An unhealthy obsession with controlling / removing “ Fake News “ and on regulation

#    Making BIG TECH pay some pittance of money ( by way of tax ) , ala GDPR

#    No mechanism what-so-ever to “ Compensate “ those 800 million users , whose PERSONAL – PRIVATE

      data was being collected / compiled / sold for BILLIONS of dollars by BIG TECH – that too , without

      explicit permission from each user ( “ Data Owner “ – but only on paper ! )

 

  Dear Shri Vaishnawji,

It is time for you to stand up for the POOR PEOPLE of India

You have been given that rare “ second chance “ to enable each user to get a monthly “ compensation “ of

Rs 30,000 , from those DATA THIEVES

By implementing :

SARAL …………………………………………………………………[ 10 Feb 2019 ]

      Digital Dividend from Demographic Data ………..[ 14 Feb 2019 ]

You have a UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY to “ GARIBI HATAO “ before the 2024 general elections, without a

burden of a single Rupee on the Exchequers

And, you need NOT include this item in BJP’s Sankalp Patra , for fear of being treated as a FREEBIE

 

With regards,

Hemen Parekh  /  hcp@RecruitGuru.com  /  04 Aug 2022
