<div dir="ltr"><div>Quartz has a post today on India's CMS: <a

<br>"<i>The CMS, by contrast, will give nine Indian government
agencies—including the tax department—the power to access, in real-time,
phone conversations, video conferences, text messages, emails, and even
internet search data and social media activity, and will work without any
independent oversight,
Reuters reports; the agencies can start monitoring targets without the
approval of the courts or the parliament. The top bureaucrat in charge
of the federal interior ministry and selected state-level officials will
reportedly be authorized to approve surveillance
requests.</i>"<br><br><br></div>Best,<br>Manish<br><br></div>
