Privacy ? Parish the
Thought !
Following is an extract from ( Economic Times / 18
July ) :
Vidhi to help in Data Shield Law
·
MEITY ( Ministry of Electronics and IT ) , is working on drafting a law
on Data Protection
·
In this , it is being helped by Vidhi
Centre for Legal Policy [ arghya.sengupta@gmail.com
/ vidhi@vidhilegalpolicy.in ]
·
MEITY will also seek help from eminent jurists and lawyers
of the country
·
There will be a larger stake-holder discussion exercise after release of
the first draft
·
Arghya Sengupta (
Founder of Vidhi ) said :
“
Aadhaar is only one part of this
eco-system which is admittedly becoming larger
There
is an issue with regard to what the private
operators are doing with the citizens’ data
, every time people sign onto an app and
it asks for multiple permissions to access photos etc
I
have little hesitation in admitting that successive generations will possibly
think that we were fools that every time we downloaded
an application, we signed away our rights
So
, there is a larger question which is not just an Aadhaar related question but
in terms of who owns our data and what
happens with personal data that is shared
That
is the framework that we need and that’s essential the need of the hour
Be
it Governments, individuals or any private entity – any entity that processes
large data should have some obligation
with respect to data handling
The legislation should have rules
pertaining to obligation of data handlers , ways of collection of data , its use
, and do’s and don’ts for any kind of onward sharing
“
MY TAKE :
·
In
the drafting team , besides Jurists and Lawyers , include some Data Scientists
·
Get this team to agree on the definitions
/ meanings of the following TERMS , before releasing of that FIRST
draft :
#
Private
#
Data
#
App
#
Permission
#
Access
#
Download
#
Sign
#
Rights
#
Own
#
Personal
#
Share
#
Entity
#
Processing
#
Obligation
#
Handling
#
Collection
#
Use
·
Already the line delimiting the HARDWARE
from SOFTWARE is getting blurred ( eg :
storing data in DNA or STEM CELLS )
·
Technology has ( almost ) evolved to the point where there is NO NEED to ask any PERMISSION from anyone ( who is creating – processing – handling
etc of data ).
Any
device that you carry or wear , will automatically transmit your every single THOUGHT to a CENTRAL SERVER !
And
that ARIHANT
will also SAVE the humanity from
Artificial Intelligence !
·
Under Internet of Things ( IoT )
, each living human will get assigned 50,000 TRILLION , unique IP
Addresses , under IP V 6.0 ( including
for that packet of food we eat and that bottle of water we drink ! ) – that
is 10
BILLION IP
addresses for each hair on our bodies !
·
We will be “ Watched / Measured / Imaged / Listened to / Analysed /
Administered / Governed “ , every second of our lives ( - and no one will even
ask for any permission ! )
Anyone
wearing an AR / VR device ( which will be everyone ! ) , will know who we are and
what we are doing , at ANY
MOMENT !
·
The Omnipresent CLOUD will
tell us , what we should NEED and what
we should DESIRE and where we should TRAVEL and what we should SEE ! May be , even how long we should LIVE !
A 9 Judge bench of the Supreme Court [ supremecourt@nic.in
] , has been set up to decide whether “ Right to Privacy “ is ( or is not ) , a Constitutional Right of Indian
citizens
I urge the Hon Judges to invite some
eminent “ DATA SCIENTISTS “ for
deposing their technical views on this subject , before passing their order
After reading my following blogs , Hon
Judges might want to ask them :
“ Will technology render India’s
Constitution , irrelevant ? If yes , how soon ? “
