Things India’s digital privacy framework should consider.
FACEBOOK, reportedly, has no plan to incorporate the provisions of the European Union law, called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in all geographies. It will just take measures on similar lines. India will have to formulate its own data privacy law that is stringent, instead of relying on Facebook to mend things.
Section 43A of the (Indian) Information Technology Act, 2000, is not equipped to manage issues related to data breach and privacy. With reports confirming that political parties in India, too, sought the services of data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica to manipulate public opinion in their favour, the need for a digital privacy to protect Indian citizens has never been more pressing.
