India's Data Protection Bill Should Not be Rushed Through - @MishiChoudhary and Eben Moglen thewire.in/tech/with-conc…
The policy-makers must consider how their domestic law and policy will fit into that global context. The report does not address this question at all.
Govt. should not only be seeking to harmonise Indian data protection law with GDPR in order to maximise Indian firms access to the global data economy, it should be directly engaged with the European Commission in seeking mutual opportunities to define Euro-Indian global regime
What the report does not do is to answer the basic questions on which such a privacy policy must rest:
(1) what are citizens’ rights;
(2) what resulting duties must law impose on other private parties in order to ensure those rights are protected
(1) what are citizens’ rights;
(2) what resulting duties must law impose on other private parties in order to ensure those rights are protected
3) and what remedies should be available when breach of those duties results in harm?
