Prof K Nageshwar: Government to control people’s personal Data (Video)

         ప్రజల వ్యక్తిగత సమాచారం పై ప్రభుత్వానికి గుత్తాధిపత్యం||Government to control people's personal Data

The government has come released the draft of a Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 which differs significantly from the earlier version drafted by Justice BN Sri Krishna in 2018. Justice Sri Krishna has said the changes are dangerous and can potentially create a surveillance state. In a major change from the original Sri Krishna draft, the Data Protection Authority of India has been made entirely subservient to the government. The data localisation provisions for sensitive personal data have also been considerably weakened.

The purpose of a data protection bill is to define the property rights of people over their personal data. This needs to be done because data has now become a valuable commodity. The World Bank calls people’s personal data a new asset class, meaning that if any business “captures” such data, it can be used to make money. As people expand their digital footprint through their activities on the internet, the amount of personal data is increasing rapidly. The business world is salivating over the potential of making money out of this ever-expanding pool of our data.
