The Government of India is trying to create the first ever law to protect your personal data and information. The Justice Srikrishna Committee has come out with a draft Personal Data Protection Bill, 2018. So what's it the data protection bill all about? Will it safeguard our privacy or create a monstrous government apparatus? Manasa Venkataraman(https://twitter.com/nasac) and Ajay Patri(https://twitter.com/ajaybpatri), researchers at the Takshashila Institution(https://twitter.com/TakshashilaInst), offer a first look at the new draft bill, and share their initial analysis. Episode 55 follows from the last two episodes with Rahul Matthan(https://twitter.com/matthan), on the evolution of privacy, and policy developments in modern India. Have any questions or comments?
