[bestbits] Fwd: Re: [JNC - Forum] India-Right to Privacy

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Indeed this is great news and India is to be congratulated

The parallels between this and GDPR deserve an urgent study

Brazil is taking a completely different direction on this, unfortunately

The new govt just today released a new proposal to amend the Digital Rights
Bill Marco Civil limiting the power of civil society. Challenges to privacy
protection will be next.

This historic judgement will redefine the digital scene in India, and it is
likely to move closer to the EU model with this.

But still many an interpretation and implementation challenges ahead, which
even the EU is struggling with. But can set a new trend and model for
developing countries.

For those who may be interested,

The Indian Supreme Court holds that Right to Privacy is a Fundamental
Right on  a judgment pronounced on August 24, 2017.

In a historic judgment,  the 9 judge bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court
has unanimously held that Right to Privacy is a fundamental right.  This
judgment was pronounced in a reference made to the 9 judge bench in a
batch of Writ Petitions challenging the Aadhaar scheme.
