Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

WILL " DIFFICULT " BECOME " IMPOSSIBLE " ?


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 :

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 !
