Thread on the Kashmir Whitelist.
Earlier this week

Important story. Takeaway - If you force something on people, they will find workarounds. You’re only incentivizing that behaviour if you still double down.
For days, Jay watched with mounting alarm as people in India were forced to install the government’s coronavirus contact tracing app. Then, he rolled up his sleeves and ripped its guts out.
New from me: Indians are finding workarounds to Aarogya Setu.

today, I write about how ~49 words across 2 sets of amendments to the IT Rules 2021 will alter the state of freedom of expression on the Internet in India, & (especially) adversely impact the watchdog role that journalism/journalists play in a liberal democracy.
Establishing a fact-checking unit – appointed and notified at the discretion of the executive – as the sole authority about the veracity of information related to the govt creates perverse incentives, explains

BJP leader Ram Madhav recently tweeted "US classifies India as developed nation". This was perceived as positive news by several people. What is this classification? Is it good news for India?

The inclusion of streaming services seems absurd because:
1) 2G
2) Most of them use CDNs for delivering video content (as I said earlier, these are not on list).
3) No actual hostnames were given - how does the ISP know what to allow? Are they expected to analyse the apps? (9/n)

Well, the way most websites are designed, a lot of content comes from subdomains, CDNs. They also have 3rd party content like analytics services, ads, various libraries that manage the UI etc. None of this worked because there were not on the whitelist (5/n)

We excluded these and 'Jio Chat', so in reality (esp. over 2G) the number of unusable websites maybe higher than what I said earlier in thread.

And oh, this one talks about India too.
It's a zombie economy. For 40 years, we've eroded the wages of workers and transfered their share of profit and productivity to owners of capital. This is a problem, because people need money to buy things, and if they run out of money, they stop buying and profits vanish.

* - assumes they were district wide as stated in the various orders/circulars

The IT Standing Committee is going to meet soon. We bring to its notice a backlog of issues and flag website blocking (of DuckDuckGo or Reddit), internet shutdowns and facial recognition technology. 1/n

Digiyatra is mainly a resource inequity thing, now also graduating into a dark pattern. With a (deliberately) deficient institutional design of a private entity that’s unaccountable to the public.
Thanks for covering this

- If you passed through an Indian airport in December, chances are your facial biometrics were captured without your consent by CISF and pvt staff. This is part of a drive to ramp up enrolments for Digi Yatra. Read my story

RIP ‘ambient privacy’
The transformation of Hyderabad & Telangana into a surveillance state, is now complete. Congrats to everyone, who remained silent.

~460 days or 5.3B hours of disrupted connectivity - through a pandemic.
It’s been over a year of the internet restrictions in J&K now. We believe that every citizen should have internet access in Digital India and we will continue our work against arbitrary internet shutdowns in the country. Do consider funding our work! 4/n

There is an unfortunate lesson in this. More corporations, especially Indian ones, must start taking digital rights issues seriously and stop thinking of them as "someone else's problem", or something that only civil society organisations will take up.

Dear consortium reporting on Facebook’s internal reports,
May i request you to create a static page listing the main stories so that those of us trying to make sense of them aren’t bouncing about so-many-lots-of-multiple websites?
Even a notion page will do.
Thanks

Extremely concerning for the minister to make this claim without a formal referral to the committee - at an industry event, no less - for a bill that many in civil society have likely* given, dare I say, a "big thumbs down" to.

A news anchor put out some outright hateful content. It should be called out, just not in a way that amplifies it. This is complex and by no means a binary, but here’s what seems to be happening-the act of calling it out is driving high interaction too 1/

There's a lot to consider here, but I want to dwell on this 'transparent when convenient' aspect for just a bit, which cuts across ministries.

The lack of transparency from Union Government ministries stands in stark contrast with the practice of selectively issuing press releases or providing unattributed statements when citizens' right to access information is curtailed.

We recently filed an application seeking the withdrawal of an Order which prohibited COVID-related speech on social media in Indore. Today, on the basis of our representation, the problematic provision has been repealed by the District Collector.
