We write to the J&K Govt and MHA seeking immediate restoration of 4G internet services in Jammu & Kashmir.

internetfreedom.in/internet-slowd…
Without 4G internet services, people of Jammu & Kashmir are being deprived of:

❌Telemedicine
❌Access to latest studies, protocols and manuals for doctors
❌Access to accurate and real time information for patients
❌Effective public outreach with videos in vernacular languages
The internet slowdown in Jammu & Kashmir violates the fundamental right to healthcare which is non-derogable. The region already has 7 confirmed COVID 19 cases and the Govt must act soon to provide doctors all available tools including high speed internet to contain the virus.
A copy of the representation can be accessed here. We urge you to go through it to appreciate the time sensitive nature as well as the larger legality of the underlying demand to restore complete internet access with 4G connectivity. drive.google.com/file/d/1f6vpJ0…

With reports emerging that the Delhi Police is using drones to check for people who are breaking the curfew imposed due to COVID-19 in Delhi, we examine responses we have received in reply to RTI requests filed about the usage of drones in February

The Delhi Police has been using drones for surveillance of crowds for quite some time now. The first reports emerged in December 2019 when it was reported that anti-CAA protests had been surveilled via drones to keep a close eye on the protesters.

Subsequently, there were reports that the Delhi Police used drones on crowds during the Republic Day parade in January 2020 to “maintain vigil”

Thread on surveillance!

Brilliant work by investigative journalists (@kum_sambhav) and digital rights activist @digitaldutta has alerted us of Government projects which aim to centralise databases and collect people’s call records for mass collection of personal data.

This poses a serious risk of mass surveillance. This thread collates the latest developments and also links you to a few instructional videos we have prepared on the subject under our #SaveOurPrivacy campaign.

Read Part 1 of the surveillance series about the National Social Registry which will provide real time information to the government about every individual’s religion, caste, income, education, marital status, employment etc.

Minister of Home Affairs, Amit Shah has stated in Parliament today that facial recognition technology is being used to identify perpetrators in the Delhi Riots investigation.

indiatoday.in/india/story/fa…
The facial recognition system has been fed data from Aadhaar, driving license and voter ID databases. The use of Aadhaar for this purpose without any judicial authorisation violates the judgement of the Supreme Court in KS Puttaswamy v. UoI (2019).
ICYMI, facial recognition technology was first acquired by the Delhi Police to identify missing children. In 2019, the system had an accuracy rate of 1% and it even failed to distinguish between boys and girls.

#Kashmir: Hearing in plea by Anuradha Bhasin on communication shutdown in Kashmir continuing before court 3 of Supreme Court.

Vrinda Grover arguing for Bhasin.

"Shutdown for 90 days is by no means a temporary measure" , Vrinda Grover.
#Kashmir: The proviso to Section 5 should be construed harmoniously in favour of media, else it will not have any significance, Vrinda Grover.
#Kashmir: As per their order, there is an apprehension of likelihood of deterioration of law and order.

To suspend all communications in such ground is arbitrary. My case is law and order deterioration is not good ground for such ban, Vrinda Grover.

#Kashmir

Those who are suppressing the dreaded abrogation of civic liberties by dangling the carrot of industrial development - have neither set up an industry - nor have experienced a life w/o civil liberties & FRs.
Those fapping over the prospect of buying plots & building houses / spas / retreats in J&K - have never lived a day in a hostile neighbourhood.

Those who're pontificating "nationalism" to support the ghastly atrocities on fellow citizens - don't know what "nationalism" means
Try setting up an industry in a place where the locals are hostile towards you.

In an year, the bankers would be adding that loan to the NPAs.

Forget the massive, all pervasive hostility - even a small bunch of hostile anti-socials can bring an industry to a grinding halt.
