[Instituto Danilo Doneda @ddoneda]

Brazilian House of Representatives has just voted to include the fundamental right to data protection in the Constitution
If the Senate confirms its prior position on this, Brazil will be the next Latin American country to formally have a Constitutional right to data protection

[Karuna Nundy @karunanundy]

Abuse of jurisdictional power, waste of judicial resources.

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

This will be the future: a world of people too busy playing with their phones to notice that someone else controls them.

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

If you want to see Microsoft have a heart attack, talk about defining legal liability for bad code in a commercial product. To give Facebook nightmares, talk about making it legally liable for leaks of their unnecessarily collected personal records. https://t.co/9ahiR1MOz4

[Karuna Nundy @karunanundy]

Furious. The government response to the use of #Pegasus appear to admit that phones of a constitutional authority, a Supreme Court judge, the legal community, as well as lawyers and opposition leaders have been illegally hacked. 1/n

#WhatsApp has informed the Delhi High Court that it's privacy policy will not be enforced till the time the Data Protection Bill comes out and that it will need to fit in the law in such a situation.

While #India becomes #digital, the draft Personal Data Protection Bill is still pending with the Joint Parliamentary Committee. Before we go further with #DigitalIndia, we must ensure that a data protection legislation is in place to help make India truly digital.

How can you make students accountable for their past performance without setting out the standards earlier? It only seems like an easy escape route for @cbseindia29.

CBSE told the Supreme Court that the Class XII results will be decided on the basis of performance in Class X (30% weightage), Class XI (30% weightage) & Class XII (40% weightage). #cbseboardexams

The statement also refers to “politically motivated internet shutdowns” as one of the threats to freedom and democracy.

[Malavika Raghavan @teninthemorning]

My deep-dive released on ⁦@futureofprivacy⁩’s blog on #India’s new #Intermediary & #DigitalMedia rules that significantly expand Executive powers in digital regulation.

8 cases (& counting) filed against these rules, so lots to watch. (1/n) https://t.co/9qV0isX2ob

[SFLC.in @SFLCin]

As highlighted earlier by @SFLCin #CowinPortal also does not have a specific privacy policy in place. We had raised this issue in January, 2021. Still, the #CoWIN app links to the Health Data policy.

Breaking: Facebook plans to stop shielding politicians from the content rules it applies to everyone else, a sharp reversal from its position that all speech from elected officials is inherently newsworthy.

Could have big ramifications globally! https://t.co/enZ7tXQClU
