班加罗尔:在围绕剑桥分析公司和脸书在数据泄露问题上的争议中,联盟部长拉维·尚卡尔·普拉萨德今天说政府不会容忍任何未经授权使用数据滥用职权或影响选举
在印度人民党卡纳塔克邦部门组织的“班加罗尔IT全球中心未来之路”互动活动上,普拉萨德警告政府将对任何滥用数据用于抵押目的的人采取强硬行动。
“莫迪政府非常清楚。任何未经拥有人同意而未经授权使用资料作滥用及附带用途或影响选举的行为,一概不会被容忍。我们对此非常清楚。”
他说,与数据相关的五个重要方面是:数据可用性、实用性、创新性、匿名性和隐私。
普拉萨德说,如果印度希望增长,数据很重要。
“在一个特定的地区,如果有人被感染,因为有数据,我们可以有一个很好的预测政策的。但它应该是匿名数据。如果要进行创新,数据的可用性很重要。
“在你的健康状况、你的官方偏好、婚姻性质的关系和家庭事务方面要有隐私。但是隐私问题被那些谈论知情权和隐私的人夸大了。”
他说,政府已经就数据泄露问题向剑桥分析公司和脸书公司发出了说明原因的通知。
普拉萨德3月29日表示,政府已就数据泄露问题向Facebook和剑桥分析公司发出通知,并将在收到他们的回复后决定采取何种行动。
印度信息技术部于3月28日向社交网络巨头Facebook发布了一份通知,要求其就用户数据泄露事件做出回应,并详细说明其为确保安全和防止个人数据滥用而采取的措施。
它向脸书提出了五个问题,包括印度选民和用户的个人数据是否被剑桥分析公司或任何其他下游实体以任何方式泄露,并要求这家网络巨头在4月7日之前做出详细回应。
早些时候,针对媒体报道称这家英国公司通过收集脸书用户数据来影响选举的可疑做法,也向剑桥分析公司发出了类似的通知。
在回答有关滥用数字平台的问题时,普拉萨德强调,他主张媒体自由和言论自由。“但如果有人滥用社交媒体鼓励极端主义、恐怖主义和地方自治主义,那就会成为一个令人担忧的问题,”他说。
这位部长表示,由退休法官克里希纳(Sri Krishna)领导的委员会已被要求提交一份关于数据保护法的报告,该报告将很快出台。
这位IT部长还拒绝了将Aadhaar与选民身份证联系起来的建议,他说,尽管他个人不赞成,但反对Aadhaar的人会指责莫迪政府监视每个人。他说,Aadhaar和选民身份证在不同的领域运作,他补充说,选民身份证有更多的细节,这是Aadhaar卡所缺乏的。“两者(Aadhaar和选民ID)都在不同的领域运作。你去投票…如果你出示你的Aadhaar卡,你将不能投票,除非你出示你的选民身份证。”
“更大的问题是,如果一切都与Aadhaar有关,那么反Aadhaar的大支持者会说,纳伦德拉·莫迪政府正在监视一切,登机、吃什么、去哪家电影院。我不想那样,”工会部长说。
普拉萨德说,在团结进步联盟政府执政期间,Aadhaar没有任何法律支持,而全国民主联盟政府为它带来了单独的法律。
他还表达了对班加罗尔“可怜的基础设施”的痛苦,尽管这座城市是印度的IT中心。
他说,地铁项目的严重延误和班加罗尔的洪水已经成为头条新闻。GMS四月 Bengaluru: Amidst controversies surrounding Cambridge Analytica and Facebook on the data breach issue, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad<\/a> today said the government would not tolerate any unauthorised use of data<\/a> for abuse or to influence elections.<\/p> Speaking at an interactive event \"Bengaluru IT Global Hub Road Ahead\", organised by BJP's Karnataka unit, Prasad<\/a> warned that the government would act tough against anybody abusing data for collateral purposes.<\/p> \"The Narendra Modi<\/a> government is very clear. Any unauthorised use of data without the consent of the owner for abuse and collateral purposes or influencing the elections will not be tolerated. We are very clear about it,\" he said.<\/p> He said five important points are associated with data -- (data) availability, utility,innovation,anonymity and privacy.<\/p> Prasad said data is important if India wished to grow.<\/p> \"In a particular area if people are getting infected, because of data we can have a good policy<\/a> for that. But it should be an anonymous data. If innovation is to be done, data availability is important.<\/p> \"Let there be privacy in terms of your health condition, your official preferences, relationships which are matrimonial in nature and family matters. But the issue of privacy is overblown by those who talk of Right to Information and also talk of privacy,\" he added.<\/p> He said government had issued show cause notices to Cambridge Analytica and Facebook on the data breach issue.<\/p> Prasad on March 29 said the government had given notices to Facebook and Cambridge Analytica on the data breach issue and would decide on the action to be taken after receiving their responses.<\/p> The IT Ministry had on March 28 issued a notice to social networking giant Facebook, seeking its response over the user data breach and details of steps it has put in place to ensure safety and prevent misuse of personal data.<\/p> It raised five questions for Facebook, including whether personal data of Indian voters and users has been compromised by Cambridge Analytica or any other downstream entity in any manner and gave the networking giant a deadline of April 7 to send a detailed response.<\/p> A similar notice was earlier sent to Cambridge Analytica over media reports of questionable practices attributed to the UK-based firm in their efforts to influence elections by harvesting data of Facebook users.<\/p> To a question on the misuse of digital platform, Prasad emphasised that he advocated free media and free speech. \"But if anyone abuses social media to encourage extremism,terrorism and communalism, that becomes a matter of concern,\" he said.<\/p> The minister said that a committee, headed by retired judge Sri Krishna, has been asked to submit a report on data protection law which would come out soon.<\/p> The IT Minister also rejected the suggestion to link Aadhaar with voter ID, saying though he was personally not in favour of it, those opposing Aadhaar would accuse the Narendra Modi government of snooping on everyone. The Aadhaar and Voter ID cards operate in different fields, he said, adding a voter ID has much more details, which is lacking in the Aadhaar card. \"Both of them (Aadhaar and voter ID) operate in different fields.You go to cast your vote...if you show your Aadhaar card, you will not be allowed to cast your vote unless you show your voter ID card.\"<\/p> \"The larger issue is that if everything is linked to Aadhaar, then the great supporters of anti-Aadhaar will say that the Narendra Modi government is snooping on everything, boarding, what you are eating, which cinema you are going. I don't want that,\" said the union minister.<\/p> Prasad said that Aadhaar during UPA government did not have any legal backing, whereas the NDA government brought a separate law for it.<\/p> He also expressed anguish over the 'pathetic infrastructure' in Bengaluru, despite the city being the IT hub of India.<\/p> He said enormous delay in Metro rail project and flooding in Bengaluru had hit the headlines.
