Reading the #dataprotection bill from the following point of view
How can the state violate our privacy? Let me count the ways 1. Processing of personal data in the interests of security of the state
(Our current surveillance laws would keep the stasi perfectly happy)
2. For the 'prevention' of offences and contraventions of law.
( Remember sedition is a criminal offence) #DataProtection#privacy
3. For the 'detection' of an offence
(Same as above but prevention and detection are different so merits its own place on my list) #DataProtection#Privacy#surveillance
4. Investigation and prosecution of an offence #DataProtection
But the one that's most shocking is 5. By forcing data fiduciaries to store a copy of citizens personal data in India
6. Capture the data protection authority (central government appointments with 5 year terms) or the appellate tribunal (central government to make all the rules from qualifications to term of office and renewal)
Appeals lie straight to the Supreme Court
