The @nipfp_org_in Technology Policy Conference kicks off in Mumbai on Regulating Emerging Technologies with a strong focus on data protection in India with support from @FNFSouthAsia and @OmidyarNetwork 
The privacy debate in India encompasses three key battlegrounds; the Aadhaar debate, the Puttaswamy judgement and the Data Protection Bill
“When adjudicating on technology the court traditionally uses three strategies; to limit or ban technology, promoting certain technology options and to provide guidance on technology use”
“Is consent broken because of how privacy policies are drafted?”
“Data as oil is a poor comparison. Data should be looked at through the lens of public resources and global commons like air and water instead of a resource that is sold and marketed by private companies”
“Is the Data Protection Bill; as a stand-alone document good legislation? Does it have enough protections for the user?”
“When policy processes are rushed; inevitably it is bad policies that are pushed. We need to call for more calm and a slow policy process” Excellent statement made at the @nipfp_org_in Technology Policy Conference @FNFSouthAsia
“How can we define collective interest and how will that differ from government interest? How can Data be governed from the perspective of collective interest”
The plethora of conversations over Dal Makhni and Rasmalai; shaping discourses on technology policy in India represents the true strength of @nipfp_org_in and the team of @SmritiParsheera @rahmanfaiza6 and others. Kudos to you all! @FNFSouthAsia
"We need to step away from the thought that money is the only carrier of value because technology allows us to imagine other carriers"
“Money has become the new raw material… the guy with the deep pockets wins access to the market”
“The way to fight monopolies is to have open standards; similar to the way email has open standards”
