Will our Policy Makers
realize that :
# Millions of our Unemployed
cannot be assured Unemployment Allowance at ( Rs
3,000 x 31 million unemployed - PER MONTH ! )
# " Universal Basic Income " is an Utopian - but unworkable - concept for " Reducing Income Inequity " or as a " Wealth Transfer Mechanism "
But the mechanism that I
propose will leverage the " DATA WEALTH " of our 500 million Internet
users ( Data is the New Oil )
Each of our Internet user may
earn , anywhere from Rs
10,000 to Rs 30,000 per month , by authorizing.... SARAL .....to SELL
his / her Personal Data to Social Media / E Commerce web sites / mobile Apps
Hope Shri Ravi Shankar Prasadji , finds time
to read this !

Missing the Wood for the Tree ?
That
is what seems to be happening if you find time to read the following articles /
news reports which have appeared in media over the past 2 days , in respect of
the Twitter episode
:
And what are these reports / articles
talking about ?
Listen
:
·
….whether Dorsey’s presence at the
committee’s meeting would have achieved anything other than political theatre. Standing Committees in India are not empowered to take
testimonies under oath , nor do they have quasi-regulatory powers
·
“ The parliamentary committee technically
may have the right to summon Twitter officials, but I don’t understand
the rationale and utility of this action “ (
Kapil Sibal )
·
Parliamentary Standing Committee on IT
wants to examine the issue of “ safeguarding citizens’
rights on social media / online news platforms
·
The Government will not intervene in the
matter until the panel reaches a decision
·
Their primary mandate is to make recommendations to Parliament
·
Legal experts termed the whole exercise as pointless… “ You can’t blame Twitter
for not taking this seriously….
What is the TREE ?
·
Fake news - handles – identities /
Trolling / Abusive posts / Inaccurate news
/ Hate speech / Political propaganda
What is the MISSING WOODS ?
·
Social Media sites and Apps ( not to speak
of all kinds of E Com sites ) fooling users into submitting all kinds of totally unnecessary , Personal
/ Private data
·
Then following the users on the internet to
surreptitiously compile all kinds of data re
their online life ( - again without the
knowledge of the users )
·
And then , without the knowledge or the
permission of the users, selling such data to
any buyer, for billions of dollars ( - and not sharing anything with the Data
Owners )
What are the implications ?
·
1 % of the rich people
control 56 % of world’s wealth ( in India too,
this ratio holds )
For reducing this inequity, no satisfactory
“ Wealth transfer mechanism “ is found
·
These rich own most of the TOP companies of
the world , none of which produce a tangible / physical products . They are
all, DIGITAL ECONOMY companies
·
This ever growing “ Economic Inequity “ is producing social tensions / militancy /
refugees / economic migration / persecution / terrorism , around the world and
pausing a threat to world peace . Global warming is interlinked with this
inequity
Is there a Comprehensive Narration of
this ?
·
Sure . Read : Data
and its discontents (
Author : Prabir Purkayastha )
How can we force these
Digital Satraps to share their wealth with the users ?
By
# resorting to “
tit-for-tat / paying them back in their own coins “
# using the same
technology that they have used on us so far to enrich themselves
# implementing
: SARAL
( Single Authentic Registration Anywhere Login )
Will Twitter ( - and its
cousins ) agree ?
·
They will, if their only
other option is to “ Quit India “. Read them following Riot Act
# Lawmakers
back bill to isolate Russian internet
# After
a single day, Facebook is pushed out of China again
#
20 Countries who
may implement SARAL
Who are likely to oppose SARAL ?
·
Without
doubt , there must be many , including ( possibly )
# The Centre for
Internet and Society
#
Cellular
Operators Association of India
Selling what Personal / Private data
will Indian internet users make money thru SARAL ?
On
behalf of 500
million Indian internet users , SARAL will sell
( anonymized / aggregated ) data at the following DATA LEVELS, and instantaneously transfer money
to users ( DBT
)
# Data Level 1 ……………… Personal
Data ✔
# Data Level 2 ……………… Family Data ✔
# Data Level 3 ……………… Contact
Info ✔
# Data Level 4 ……………… Social
Media Data ( websites-portals-apps etc ) ✔
# Data Level 5 ………………. Cultural
Exposure Data ✔
# Data Level 6 ………………. Education qualifications
Data ✔
# Data Level 7 ………………. Languages
Knowledge Data ✔
# Data Level 8 ………………. Job Experience Data ✔
# Data Level 9 ……………… Wealth
– Income Data [ from Tax Returns ] ✔
# Data Level 10 ……………….
Medical History Data ✔
Any suggestion to Shri Anurag Thakur , Chairman , Parliamentary Committee
on Information Technology ?
·
May be your committee does not have power to “ take testimonies
under oath “
·
But your right to ,
#
safeguard the interests of 500 million users
#
reach a decision in their favour
#
recommend implementation of SARAL to Shri
Ravi Shankar Prasadji
-
is absolute
