#Datacracy | Being #GDPR compliant doesn't necessarily make companies ready for India's upcoming data protection laws

#dataprotection

By @pabsgill Image
@pabsgill India is ready to take a stab at formulating its first laws to govern data & it is using the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (#GDPR) as the template. For companies operating in India, this could end up being a stick in the mud.

#Datacracy #dataprotection
@pabsgill While #GDPR and India’s Personal Data Protection Bill (#PDP) are similar in many ways, the differences between them mean that a company which is compliant in Europe may not necessarily be compliant under the PDP.

@internetfreedom @pabsgill India’s Personal #DataProtectionBill, 2019 is likely to be placed in front of Parliament sometime this month. The underlying goal of the proposed laws is to assign rights to users over the collecting, storage and usage of their information.

#Datacracy @internetfreedom
@internetfreedom @pabsgill When it comes to #dataprivacy it looks like users have every option available to them except for the one they want — control over their data. This includes knowing who’s collecting data, where it’s being stored, how it’s being used and what can be done if it's misused instead.

@doosra_official @avuchi @pabsgill #Facebook, #WhatsApp, #Twitter and other #SocialMedia platforms have been asked to verify the identity of their users — this could be either through phone numbers or government-issued IDs like the Aadhaar card.

@doosra_official @avuchi
@doosra_official @avuchi @pabsgill Putting your number online is not just a risk in the increasing government surveillance. It's also about privacy & online safety since personal data can have in-real-life (IRL) consequences like being targeted by stalkers, trolls or people looking to hack into your bank account.

#Datacracy | #Whatsapp, #Signal and #Telegram face a catch-22 situation as India’s new social media rules threaten encryption

By @pabsgill
@KhaitanCo @SFLCin @IndusLaw @CounterPointTR @SA_LawFirm @internetfreedom @pabsgill Encryption is a safety blanket for many. It is the night light to keep nightmares away. But, that may no longer be the case with India’s new social media regulations.

@KhaitanCo @SFLCin @IndusLaw @CounterPointTR @SA_LawFirm @internetfreedom @Tarunpathak
@KhaitanCo @SFLCin @IndusLaw @CounterPointTR @SA_LawFirm @internetfreedom @pabsgill @Tarunpathak It claims that it does not care about what messages are being passed around, but if an incident is found to have been instigated through social media, they want to know who started it all — they want to find the ‘first originator’.
