Business Standard|November 21, 2022
The government has chosen the middle path while writing the draft digital data protection Bill, by not going to the extremes of complete government control or a free hand to Big Tech companies, says ASHWINI VAISHNAW, Union communications and electronics & information technology minister, in an interview with Surajeet Das Gupta & Sourabh Lele. He discusses a range of provisions in the Bill, including a list of trusted countries and penalties for violations. Edited excerpts:
