A #Twitter whistleblower’s allegations that the Indian government forced the company to hire at least one individual who was a government agent and had access to user data, should be taken seriously, warn experts in the #technology and #policy sectors.

scroll.in/article/103156…
@MishiChoudhary, founder of @SFLCin says that the more someone knows about a user, the more power they have over them. “Personal data is used to make a variety of decisions in and about our lives: jobs, government benefits, relationships & insurance are just a few of them.”
“Personal data can be used to affect our reputations and shape our behaviour,” says @MishiChoudhary

Accusing #Twitter of playing all sides she says, “By filing a lawsuit in Karnataka, it can appease its users, ‘look here, we are fighting for your rights. ’ ”
