> Honest question:- Does a typical Indian care about privacy/security?
It depends, what you mean by "privacy". A vast majority of Indians grow up in an environment with lack of privacy in personal life. Imagine 3-4 people (or more) in a family growing up in a 2 room accommodation.
Most people I know, have no issues giving away PII: phone numbers, addresses, income-tax identifier, aadhar (social security numbers, for those unaware).
> Also are privacy/security laws enforced as strongly in India as other parts of the world?
Not quite. Law enforcement, and the general public is not really aware of a lot of these laws. Right to privacy being a fundamental right was something that was debated in the courts in 2017.

That is a good perspective on how your social life in the real world indirectly effects your online world. Thanks for sharing
- screye 8y agoYep. Grew up with 6 people in a 2 bed apartment and our family income put us squarely in the middle class. My neighbours at one point, had ~8 people in a 1 bedroom. I used to think of myself as the one with the big house. Privacy was a dream. My parents themselves didn't get privacy, let alone us kids.
