The Telecom Bill, 2023 of India has sparked some concerns about the potential impact on User's surveillance
The proposed bill appears to grant extensive powers to the Union government, which could potentially impact the privacy and anonymity of individuals using telecommunication services. Also, it seems like the bill could expand the government's authority to monitor and control telecommunication networks, including the ability to search and seize unauthorized telecommunication networks. The bill is criticized for replicating language from the 1885 Telegraph Act and lacking transparency in the process of its development.
The broader call to "Kill the Bill" stems from the belief that the Telecom Bill, 2023 has missed an opportunity for much-needed reform and that the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) should be transparent about the comments received during the bill's consultation process.
