A parliamentary panel has pulled up the government over the absence of parameters to decide the merit of shutting down the internet during certain times, saying there is no clear-cut definition of what constitutes public emergency and safety. 这种方法将使金融服务、健康、教育和其他服务继续照常工作,尽量减少不便和痛苦向公众,也帮助控制骚乱期间传播错误信息。专家组指出,在当前机制”没有规定参数决定的价值或正义电信/互联网关闭。” 议会委员会已经停在了政府缺乏参数决定关闭互联网的优点在某些时期,说没有明确的定义,什么是公共应急和安全。
The Standing Committee on Communications and IT<\/a>, in its report on 'suspension of telecom services\/internet and its impact', has recommended that a thorough study be commissioned by the government to assess the impact of internet shutdown<\/a> on the economy and find out its effectiveness in dealing with public emergency and public safety.
The report presented in Parliament, also stressed on the need to put in place a proper mechanism at the earliest to decide on the merit or appropriateness of telecom and internet shutdowns.
On selective banning of services, the committee said, it will be of \"great relief\" if Department of Telecom<\/a> (DoT) could explore the option of banning of selective services, such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram<\/a>, etc instead of banning the internet as a whole during times of distress.
Such an approach will allow financial services, health, education and various other services to continue to operate as usual, minimising inconvenience and suffering to the general public and also help in controlling spread of misinformation during unrest.
Adoption of such less restrictive mechanisms will be a welcome initiative, the panel said.
\"The Committee strongly recommend that the Department urgently examine the recommendation of TRAI<\/a> and come out with a policy<\/a> which will enable the selective banning of OTT services with suitable technological intervention, such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram services during period of unrest\/crisis that are liable to be used by the terrorists or ant-inational element\/forces to ferment trouble in the specified regions,\" it said.
Defined parameters of what constitutes public emergency and public safety may also be adopted and codified so as to ensure that there is no ambiguity in deciding the ground by different states while implementing the suspension rules, said the report.
The panel noted that under the current mechanism \"no parameters have been laid down to decide the merit or justice of the telecom\/internet shutdowns.\"
In the absence of such parameters, internet shutdowns have been ordered purely on the basis of subjective assessment and reading of the ground situations by district level officer and is largely based on executive decisions.
The committee observed that although public emergency and safety are the only grounds on which internet shutdowns can be imposed, as of now, \"there is no clear-cut definition of what constitute public emergency and public safety\".
Asserting that internet shutdown can be ordered strictly on grounds of 'public emergency' and 'public safety', the committee said it is reported that governments have resorted to telecom\/internet shutdown on grounds \"not so pressing\".
They \"have been regularly using this as a tool for routine policing and even administrative purposes\", such as preventing cheating in exams to defusing local crime, \"which do not amount to large scale public safety concerns and certainly do not amount to a Public Emergency\", it noted.
\"What is all the more disturbing is that the data relating to the number of shutdowns are not codified, leaving the procedure open ended for misinterpretation, subjective assessment and misuse...,\" it said.
Suspension rules have been \"grossly misused\" leading to huge economic loss and also causing untold suffering to the public, as well as severe reputational damage to the country, the committee said.
Frequent suspension of internet on \"flimsy grounds\" is uncalled for and \"must be avoided\", given that the government's thrust on digitisation and knowledge economy with free and open access to internet is at its core, it said.
\"Defined parameters of what constitutes public emergency and public safety may also be adopted and codified so as to ensure that there is no ambiguity in deciding the ground by different states while implementing the suspension rules,\" the panel said.
The committee expressed surprise that records relating to telecom services\/internet shutdowns ordered by state governments are not maintained by DoT or Ministry of Home Affairs<\/a> (MHA).
It has \"strongly\" recommended that both DoT and MHA should establish a mechanism at the earliest to maintain a centralised database of all internet shutdown orders in the country, which will contain information such as the number of times suspension has been imposed, reasons, duration, decision of the competent authority, decision of the Review Committees amongst others.
Such information should also be made available in the public domain which will not only help in transparency but also course correction in case of deviation from rules\/procedures and to gauge its impact on the economy, it said.
The committee expressed its unhappiness over DoT and Ministry of Home Affairs not having any information on the standard operating procedures or SOPs being followed by state governments while invoking the Temporary Suspension of Telecom Services<\/a> (Public Emergency and Public Safety) Rules, 2017.
While the Supreme Court<\/a> laid down the broad contours of safeguards against telecom shutdown, DoT and MHA, on their part \"have not taken any initiative for devising\/outlining SOP on telecom shutdown except merely conveying the decision of the Supreme Court to states\/UTs through routine orders\", it said.
The panel has suggested that DoT in coordination with MHA should take proactive measures and issue a uniform set of SOP and guidelines to be followed by all states and UTs.
Frequent shutdown of internet services is an indication to the fact that State\/UT governments are resorting to this method as a convenient way to deal with any restive situations without properly assessing the effectiveness of such drastic measure in controlling such situations, the committee opined.<\/p><\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":88032088,"title":"Growth prediction for memory chip market halved for next year","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/growth-prediction-for-memory-chip-market-halved-for-next-year\/88032088","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[{"msid":"88036320","title":"Internet---Agencies","entity_type":"IMAGES","seopath":"news\/india\/need-mechanism-to-decide-on-merit-appropriateness-of-telecom-services-internet-shutdowns-parliament-panel\/internet-agencies","category_name":"Need mechanism to decide on merit, appropriateness of telecom services, internet shutdowns: Parliament panel","synopsis":"Representative image","thumb":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/thumb\/img-size-25178\/88036320.cms?width=150&height=112","link":"\/image\/india\/need-mechanism-to-decide-on-merit-appropriateness-of-telecom-services-internet-shutdowns-parliament-panel\/internet-agencies\/88036320"},{"msid":"88027130","title":"No one circumvents Indian babudom.

需要机制决定价值,电信服务的适当性,互联网关闭:议会面板
的在通讯和信息技术常务委员会在其报告的电信服务暂停/互联网及其影响的,建议做一次彻底的研究是由政府委托评估的影响互联网关闭对经济并找出其有效性在处理公共应急和公共安全。
议会的报告,还强调需要建立适当的机制最早决定的价值或适当电信和互联网关闭。
这种方法将使金融服务、健康、教育和其他服务继续照常工作,尽量减少不便和痛苦向公众,也帮助控制骚乱期间传播错误信息。
采用这种限制较少的机制将是一个受欢迎的倡议,该小组说。
“委员会强烈建议部门迫切研究的建议火车和一个出来政策这将使奥特的选择性禁止服务与合适的技术干预,如Facebook, WhatsApp,电报服务期间动荡/危机,容易被恐怖分子或ant-inational元素/部队用来发酵的麻烦在指定的地区,”它说。
参数定义什么是公共应急和公共安全也可能被采纳,并确保没有歧义在决定地面不同国家而实现暂停规则,报告说。
专家组指出,在当前机制”没有规定参数决定的价值或正义电信/互联网关闭。”
在缺乏这样的参数,互联网关闭命令纯粹的主观评价的基础上,阅读区一级官的地面情况,主要是基于行政决策。
委员会注意到,尽管公共紧急和安全是唯一的理由,可以实施互联网关闭,到目前为止,”没有明确的定义构成公共应急和公共安全”。
声称互联网关闭可以为由要求严格的“公共危机”和“公共安全”,该委员会说,据报道,政府已经采取电信/互联网关闭理由“不那么紧迫”。
他们“经常使用这个作为日常警务工作的工具,甚至行政目的”,比如防止考试作弊化解当地犯罪,”不等同于大规模公共安全问题,当然也不等同于公共紧急状态”,它说。
”更加令人不安的是,这些数据涉及关闭的数量不是编纂,留下误解的过程开放,主观评价和滥用…,”它说。
暂停规则已经“严重滥用”导致巨大的经济损失,并且也造成了巨大的苦难,以及严重的声誉受损,该委员会说。
频繁中断互联网上“站不住脚”是不必要的,“必须避免”,鉴于政府对数字化的推力和知识经济自由和开放的互联网的核心,它说。
“参数定义什么是公共应急和公共安全也可能被采纳,并确保没有歧义在决定地面不同国家而实现暂停规则,”该委员会说。
委员会表示很惊讶,记录有关电信服务/互联网关闭命令州政府并不由点或维护民政部门(尼古拉斯)。
“强烈”推荐,点和尼古拉斯都应该建立一种机制最早保持中央数据库的互联网关闭订单,它将包含信息,如暂停的次数已经实施,原因,持续时间、主管机关的决定,决定的审查委员会在别人。
此类信息也应提供在公共领域这将不仅帮助透明度也在偏离航向修正规则/程序及其对经济的影响来衡量,它说。
委员会表达了不满点和民政部门标准操作程序没有任何信息或被州政府是息事宁人的调用的暂停电信服务(公共应急和公共安全)规则,2017年。
而最高法院制定防范电信关闭的轮廓点和尼古拉斯,他们“没有采取任何行动设计/概述SOP电信关闭除了仅仅传达最高法院的决定各省/通过常规订单”,它说。
专家组建议点配合尼古拉斯应该采取积极主动的措施并发行一套统一的SOP和指导方针是紧随其后的是所有国家和生产。
频繁的关闭互联网服务是一个迹象,州/ UT政府采取这个方法作为一个方便的方式来处理任何不安的情况没有正确评估的有效性这样激烈的措施控制这种情况下,委员会认为。
