[governance] Minister Sibal on igov during the DSCI keynote in New Delhi

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

"We cannot function on the Internet under a cloak of secrecy. Important to handle privacy and data protection, but must strike a balance when fighting cybercrime."

Need a global set of rules and accord, need a system of cyber justice and accountability at all levels.

We know for a fact that nations actively engaged on cyberwar and use non state actors, out of country resources 

Freedom and lawlessness are two sides of the same coin, sense of responsibility in freedom makes it its own enemy in the absence of accountability 

Voices of the voiceless to be heard. The world / Internet should not ultimately self destruct, for is to decide how to take the world forward and ensure we don't destroy ourselves.  If we lose the opportunity the world will be a much worse place.

Brilliant speech, this.
