Data Leakage

#Data #Leakage

The government says “Digital Kerala”; the High Court says “Digital Eavesdropping”. When we see that the personal information of employees stored in Spark reached the Chief Minister’s office, it seems that it did not come through the internet, but through telepathy. 

The government is unaware of the previous order that personal data should not be used for anything other than official purposes. Such a show is the number one major administrative reform of the state. When the Kerala High Court said that it was an invasion of privacy, the government replied that they did not know where it came from. 

The data crusade that started with Sprinklr has now reached the messaging system. A one-sided message journey that does not even allow people to respond. Undemocratic digital advice must end. Even when the court questioned the government’s dissemination of information that is not needed by the people, the government’s stance is strange. The government has included people’s privacy in its general plan. 

The individuals who approached the court against illegal data leakage are commendable.  If it weren't for them, the government would have deleted the word privacy from its dictionary!

The one-way messaging system must end. There must be a system to send messages back when they are received.
