> .. trying to establish strong data protections ... as Europe did, while giving the government the right to obtain private information as it sees fit... Data protections like the EU did may sound good. But it took the EU years to develop the framework, another 4 years before into effect, and even more time before it's fully adopted. India doesn't exactly have a record for graceful administration (thinking of the currency debacle). And if you do this with less elegance than what the EU did.. you risk creating a huge (expensive) mess.. Tech platforms bring a lot of value. By enabling commerce and many local enterprises. Trying to move too fast could have very bad consequences. Even the slow stuff the EU did, was somewhat of a mess.. And then let's not even get started on the mess access to private information without a warrant would bring.. I hope they move slow make something with less negative side effects than what the EU did. Then this could be good.
