@pabsgill The other two corners of the triangle are the PLI for mobile phones which was announced in April last year and the PLI for telecom gear announced last week.

@pabsgill According to Prasad, the Indian government’s aim is to make Indian IT hardware as successful as Indian IT services — which includes companies like Tata Consultancy Services (@TCS), @hcltech, @Infosys_GSTN, @Wipro and @tech_mahindra — on a global scale.

#Datacracy | #Whatsapp, #Signal and #Telegram face a catch-22 situation as India’s new social media rules threaten encryption

By @pabsgill

@KhaitanCo @SFLCin @IndusLaw @CounterPointTR @SA_LawFirm @internetfreedom @pabsgill Encryption is a safety blanket for many. It is the night light to keep nightmares away. But, that may no longer be the case with India’s new social media regulations.

@KhaitanCo @SFLCin @IndusLaw @CounterPointTR @SA_LawFirm @internetfreedom @pabsgill @Tarunpathak It claims that it does not care about what messages are being passed around, but if an incident is found to have been instigated through social media, they want to know who started it all — they want to find the ‘first originator’.

#Facebook and #Twitter have a ton of new rules to abide by in India ⁠— #WhatsApp may find itself in the toughest spot of all

businessinsider.in/tech/news/face…

By @pabsgill

@pabsgill Along with the rules, came a stern message from the Minister for IT, Ravi Shankar Prasad, who essentially told these platforms to brace for increased scrutiny and compliance.

#SocialMedia

@pabsgill #WhatsApp will be in the toughest spot of all with the government mandating the tracking of ‘first originator’ or the ‘creator of mischief’, which would mean breaking the end-to-end encryption.
