Lok Sabha passes IT Act Amendment Bill- ITeS-Infotech-The Economic Times
Govt pushes through IT Bill; wins digital snooping right - Home - livemint.com


According to an analysis by PRS Legislative Research, a New Delhi-based independent research organization, “the Bill enables the Central and state governments to intercept computer communication for investigation of any offence. Telephones and letters may be intercepted only to protect national interest, sovereignty etc. Neither the IT Act nor any other law covers how personal information may be collected, processed, shared and used. While the Bill provides compensation for unlawful loss or gain arising from unauthorized use of data, it does not address the issue of breach of privacy”.


This, according to some experts, has the potential to infringe on basic constitutional rights, such as the right to privacy, and freedom of speech and expression.
“This is a concern as it allows the government to snoop the Internet. If misused this could lead to an invasion of right to privacy,” says Rahul Mathan, cyber law expert and partner at the Bangalore office of law firm Trilegal. The Bill also doesn’t specify safeguards or guidelines for the execise of this power. “It would have been helpful if safeguards had been articulated in this case.”

Voting Left in my opinion means China takes over India.So I wud say Left is not right and those who are Right have left politics!
 
in the next elecitons is am gonna vote LEFT😡[/QUOTE]But what about states where LEFT doesnt exist ?
 
lmao at unity.did you see on lok sabha.the opp was shouting like a fish market.and the bill was passed.no enrage?
 
No use in debates when the rulling party is definetly going to pass it. Atleast Parliment concluded soon and thereby saving lot of tax payer's money. I think the expenditure for every hour of a session costs in lakhs. What ever they decided to pass is going to get passed. If opposition comes to power they are going to repeal them.
 

you are suggesting that tryanny and fascism is the safe option?.when people in this country aren't even interested in these important things then this country has no future.
 
here is a wonderful article about it
India Sleepwalks To Total Surveillance By Binu Karunakaran


Any email you send, any message you text are now open to the prying eyes of the government. So are the contents of your computer you surfed in the privacy of your home.
Around 45 amendments have been made to the original Act, which now treats both publishers of online pornography and its consumers on equal footing. A law so sweeping in its powers that it allows a police officer in the rank of a sub-inspector to walk in or break in to the privacy of your home and see if you were surfing porn or not. It’s the personal morality of the official that will decide whether the picture/content you were looking at was lascivious or appeals to prurient interest.


There is only one answer and it is a Benjamin Franklin quote: Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

😱
 
Here is a link to the actual act

Information Technology Amendment Bill 2006

Now you can make your own mind up 🙂

The law comes into effect only after a complaint. Going by the record of enforcement in this country i think we only get the true picture after they decide to use it.

This, according to some experts, has the potential to infringe on basic constitutional rights, such as the right to privacy, and freedom of speech and expression.

We have already discussed freedom of speech & expression wrt to this country and the conclusion is so long as you dont offend anyone its ok. It's not the real thing but then thats the way things stand today, in this country.

Right to Privacy ?

Look at clauses 43A, 66E, 72A

Comments of the act wrt to privacy here

Interesting to note the naavi site references a blog entry from a member of this forum.

Indeed, the temporary solution to terrorism is fascism or tending in that direction 😀

your last sentence shows true colors.you want no rights and want tyranny.Advocating this can only come from adolf hitler.blrp your views on these events never ceases to amaze me.

I leave it up to other users to judge it.freedom or fascism.if you agree with blrp then it means i as a police can come to blrp house,levy false charges,give him third degree torture and send him to the slammer for eternity and i would love do to it to people who promote fascism.go back to china where you came from you freedom hater.All your posts on this site has been pro tyranny.
I would again say that those who give liberty for security neither deserve liberty nor security.

Not like that. UPA will never hear what NDA tells and they will pass those bills anyway whatever be the outcome of those debates. NDA will do the sameway if it is in power. Can anyone remember about any bills been rejected as an outcome of a debate in the parliment?

Women's reservation bill was rejected long time back, also may be the bill for office-of-profit was earlier rejected (not sure though by parliament or by president)
 
i think women's bill was rejected bcoz BJP didnt have overall majority (LS+RS combined)but later when congress came to power, it was passed (BJP supported it too)
 
Look up the defintion of sarcasm.
it dont matter.Maybe it was a joke to get me pumped up,maybe your were profiling me but the bottom line is shit will hit the fan soon.either you are with freedom or fascism and only one has a future and would be decided soon.
