=============================================
Dear Friends,
Two days back , on a TV channel , I heard your views
on the issue of privacy of personal data of citizens
In this context , you might like to glance through my
following blog :

Trade
Off : Privacy vs LiveEasy ?
Of
late , all over the World , media ( online and offline ) , is full of articles
/ opinions , with regard to the question of protecting the private / personal
data of citizens
These
are :
· What
data are private and what are public
· Who
has the right to collect / compile such data
· In
what ways such compiled data can be used
· Does
data-collector have a right to sell such data to others for commercial purpose
· What
permissions must be obtained from the citizens before compiling such data
· Do
such permissions constitute a legal contract between the user and the compiler
· Does
the State have an obligation to protect the data willingly given by users to
compilers
· What
kind of Data Protection Law is possible to enable such State Protection
· How
will a breach of such law get detected
· Has
the State got required resources to monitor data-use by compilers , to detect
misuse
· If
a Citizen-User has granted permission ( for such “ misuse “ ), can State
declare it “ illegal “
This
is only a partial list
For
context , consider the following :
In
India, suicide is considered “ illegal “ . You can be sued for “
attempting to commit suicide “
But
suicide survivors are never prosecuted !
And
,of course , non-survivors are beyond the reach of the law !
Can
State find – and prosecute – persons who display “ clear tendency for suicide “
?
{ I
believe Google / Facebook have technologies to discover such
disturbing trend in a user , from his postings / likes / comments /
searches ! }
Only
other day, one expert said on a TV channel :
When
a person downloads Facebook Messenger and accepts its Terms and Conditions, it
enables the mike on the Smart Phone to pick up each and every “ spoken word “ (
even when the phone is switched off ! ) , and relay to the Facebook server !
Isn’t
that “ inviting an intruder “ in your house ?
The
rate at which IoT ( Internet of Things ) is proliferating , within 3 /5 years ,
there will be 50 IoT connected devices PER PERSON , in entire world !
Remember
, nearly a BILLION Indians already have “ Internet Connected Mobiles “ !
That
means , each one of us will be 24 hours in close proximity of some or other “
thing “ which can eavesdrop on our every word and relay it to thousands of
Computer Servers , spread all over the World !
Let
me restate ( what I have repeatedly said in the past )
Within
one year , no one will ever know the following about any CONTENT ( read ,
Private Data ) :
· Nature
of Content
· WHO
created
· WHEN
created
· WHERE
created
· HOW
created
· HOW
transmitted / circulated
· HOW
transformed ( “Speech to Text “ is so yesterday transformation )
· To
WHOM sold
· HOW
used
· WHEN
compiled
· WHO
compiled
· WHERE
stored
This
is only a partial list of the “ Future
of Content “
All
of this makes the following news , totally “ irrelevant “ :
Narendra Modi App asks for sweeping access: Camera, audio
among 22 inputs
http://indianexpress.com/article/india/namo-app-asks-for-sweeping-access-camera-audio-among-22-inputs-facebook-data-leak-5111353/
Web site tweaks privacy policy after it’s called out on
data transfer, BJP’s IT cell chief says, “ no security breach “
My
humble request to ,
· Shri B N Srikrishna Committee ,
Please , do not to recommend
a Data Protection Law, which simply , cannot be
enforced / implemented !
· Shri Ravi Shankar Prasadji ,
GDPR
( https://www.eugdpr.org/ )
will come into effect from 25 May 2018
Let
us watch how it plays out ( success in stopping misuse of citizen data ) for
one
year before considering our own law
For
all we know , technology – and not any legislation – might provide a solution
to the issue of privacy , - technology such as :
