India's Data Protection Bill Threatens Global Cybersecurity

Minimalist · Mar 8, 2020

Over the past few years, waves of shocking privacy misuses, data breaches, and abuses have crashed on the world's biggest companies and billions of their users. At the same time, many countries have bolstered their data protection rules. Europe set the tone in 2016 with the General Data Protection Regulation, which introduces strong guarantees of transparency, security, and privacy. Just last month, Californians got new privacy guarantees, like the right to request deletion of collected data, and other states are set to follow.

The response from India, the world’s largest democracy, has been curious, and introduces potential dangers. An emerging engineering powerhouse, India impacts us all, and its cybersecurity or data protection maneuvers deserve our careful attention. On the surface, the proposed Indian Data Protection Act of 2019 appears to emulate new global standards, such as the right to be forgotten. Other requirements, like having to store sensitive data in systems that are located within the subcontinent, may put constraints on certain business practices and are considered more controversial by some.

But then, so are many other countries, including (sadly enough) the US.
