Confused about CENSUS - NPR - NRC ?

Confused about CENSUS - NPR - NRC ?



I am 

Notwithstanding the following tabulation that I tried to construct , using various sources

I could not find the " Data Fields " that are required for NRC 

I urge our Home Minister, Shri Amitbhai Shah , to get this tabulation completed and then publish it in all the News Papers / Social Media web sites / all Central Govt web sites

Such a COMPARATIVE TABULATION will remove all doubts / anxiety from the minds of the citizens re ACTUAL PURPOSE of each of these exercises 

It will also lay down the LOGIC behind collecting / compiling some fields of COMMON DATA , again and again

Thank You, Shri Jairam Rameshji,

I sent to you [ - and to each member of your committee ], following email yesterday :

Time to Get Impatient ?  ,

-      where , I made a few suggestions on regulating / reducing , online pornographic content

-       

This morning, I came across following news report :

 

Rajya Sabha panel lays out child porn crackdown plan

Here are the highlights of the recommendations as reported in this news :

Ø  Creation of a regulatory framework to curtail the access of pornographic material to children… including the creation of a new regulator, a more dedicated regulatory framework.

Ø  The government has to significantly improve their enforcement of existing laws

Ø  India must take a leadership role and constitute an international alliance against child porn in the lines of a solar alliance.

Ø  Creating an organization like Interpol to exclusively tackle child pornography

Ø  Focus on three areas — technology, administrative steps, and legal measures — to find a solution.

     { advancement in technology makes it difficult to stop pornographic material on the

      Internet }

Ø  China has put a blanket ban on Google and WhastApp, but the panel was clear that China model should not be followed in India

======================================================

Dear Shri Jairam Rameshji,

I understand that your Committee will submit its report to the Government on 15 Jan

     Without doubt, your committee will debate – and decide the priorities based on the

     following considerations :

Ø  What is “ Important – but not quite Urgent “

     ( eg : International Alliance / Interpol like organization )

Ø  What is both “ Urgent AND Important “

( eg : Improving enforcement of existing laws /  Dedicated  Regulatory Framework )

Members of your committee are right in saying :

“ As far as regulation of internet is concerned, we need not blindly follow, either the Chinese model or the Russian model “

But the model suggested by me is superior to those , in the following respects :

Ø  It is “ Voluntary “ and not “ mandatory “

Ø  It does not invade the “ Privacy “ of the users

Ø  It will refuse “Registration “by a person who is not an adult !

Ø  It will enable users to “monetize “ their personal data  - if they wish

I once again urge you to read :

Time to Get Impatient ?

Context :

Online platforms like Whatsapp don't cooperate citing encryption: Government 

Extract :

Ø  Platforms like WhatsApp and Signal do not cooperate with law enforcement agencies citing end-to-end encryption and don't even honour lawful requisitions, government officials have told a Rajya Sabha panel looking into the issue of pornography on social media and its effects on children.

Ø  Earlier this month, an ad-hoc committee of the Rajya Sabha was formed by the Upper House Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu on the "alarming issue" of pornography on social media and its effects on children and society as a whole

Ø  Appearing before the panel, MEITY in a note said the ministry faces many legal challenges from social media platforms on the issue of pornography as their servers are abroad and they "claim to be governed by laws of hosting country when information for investigation is sought".

Ø  While in some cases, the ministry said, only meta data is shared and for majority cases either mutual legal assistance treaty or letter rogatory is insisted upon which is a very time-consuming process.

Ø  “ Even lawful requisitions are not honoured," the ministry said in the note shared with panel members.

Ø  It further said the law enforcement officials do not have explicit powers for undercover operations………

DÉJÀ  VU  ?

Early this year , there was a “ Parliamentary Committee on IT “ ( headed by Shri Anurag Thakur ), which got snubbed repeatedly , by the Social Media giants on the subjects of Fake News / Hate Content etc

Twitter CEO – Jack Dorsey , even refused to meet the Committee !

That prompted me to send following emails to that Committee :

=========================================================

[ A ]

Present legal status of pornography in India , as reported in Wikipedia , is :

·         In July 2015 the Supreme Court of India refused to allow the blocking of pornographic websites and said that watching pornography indoors in the privacy of one's own home was not a crime

^·          In February 2016 the Supreme Court asked the Indian Government to suggest ways of banning all forms of child pornography.^[15]

·         In October 2018 the government directed Internet service providers to block 827 websites that host pornographic content following an order by the Uttarakhand High Court

=========================================================

[ B ]

Is this “ ban / blockage “ working ?

I would say only partially , considering that :

Ø  On the web, there are any number of proxy sites that enable one to bypass this blockage and access those banned sites

If in doubt, just type in Google :

 “ how to bypass blocked websites at school “ ,

to find following number of results / links :

About 15,00,000 results (0.61 seconds)  !

===============================================================================

[ C ]

To Shri Jairam Ramesh ( Chairman- Rajya Sabha Committee ) , I would say, it is time to :

[  Jairam@sansad.nic.in  /  jairam54@gmail.com  ]

Ø  Get IMPATIENT  ( tell the Social Media : Enough is enough ! )

Ø  Study how China regulates its Social Media

[ Regulation of Internet in China : an Explainer  ]

Ø  Study how Russia regulates its Social Media

          [  Russia internet: Law introducing new controls comes into force  ]

 

 

Ø  To hurry up with the implementation of ;
