We write to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology enquiring on the status of the Draft Data Protection Bill. The need for a rights-based framework has never been more immediate.
The NCRB has invited bids for the implementation of Automated Facial Recognition Systems. We sent a legal notice to the NCRB because concerns such as discriminatory profiling and privacy violations are just the tip of the iceberg of problems this technology will bring about.
