EU REGULATIONS TO PROTECT PRIVACY AND CITIZEN'S RIGHTS It is reported that the Eupopean Union is considering banning facial regulation technology for at least five years to give time to handle 5G technology and prevent its misuse. Exceptions could be made for security projects and research/ development! Both developers and Artificial intelligence users will have an EU contries authority to monitor new rules! This is unlike our government unilaterally jeopardising the citizen's privacy and security.There is anger and loss of trust building up with the imposition of CAA and government ncreasingly seems to be run by interests of a religious majority and wants unrestricted survelliance. Widespread peaceful protests seeming to fall on deaf ears and supression by maximum imposition of section 144 of IPC and cutting off internet becoming the fashion. Permission given for an anti CAA meeting in Mapusa was revoked because two groups threatened to disrupt the meeting on the usual ruse of law and Order which the police/government are incompetant/incapable of ensuring? Rushing into E governance, cashless society, net banking, 5G, facial recognition etc without proper infrastructure and without proper discussion is immature democratic governance that acts first and thinks later which seems to be the norm. The Supreme Court no less, has at last cautioned the government on misuse of section 144 and shutting off internet for long periods to deny peaceful protests/ dissent, but the very important ruling seems to have fallen on deaf ears! Makes me wonder who really are the tukde tukde gang.
