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?"

DEAR SHRI CHANDRASEKHARJI - PLEASE SPARE A THOUGHT FOT THE POOR

 Government wants Big Tech to pay news outlets for content

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

Dear Shri Chandrasekharji,

 



Australia / EU introduced similar laws sometime back - which motivated Google to sign agreements with Online / Offline news-publishers , to pay them for collecting - compiling - displaying links to their original content .

When you introduce this law in India, Google will do the same - and pay Indian newspapers, a few hundred crore rupees annually

For BIG TECH companies, such payments are insignificant - one broken leg of a Centipede !

Of course, Indian citizen understand why politicians always want to " fight " for the Newspapers . Their " existence " depends upon,  on which page of a newspaper - and in what font size - their name appears - and how often !

To me it appears that politicians are " closing their eyes " to the fact that the BIG TECH is :

# Compiling personal / private DATA of millions of its users , without obtaining their EXPLICIT permission

# Selling such PRIVATE DATA to advertisers for BILLIONS of dollars

# Not paying even a SINGLE RUPEE to the DATA-OWNER

So, what you are proposing is no more than the TIP of the proverbial ICEBERG !

But you are not a PROFESSIONAL politician . You have INDUSTRY background where you believe in an EQUITABLE VALUE EXCHANGE with your customers

It is still not too late to implement :
