Right to privacy in the modern digital age

Author : Pooja Rani and Dr. Vivek Kumar Gupta

Abstract

Privacy is crucial for individuals to decide what personal information can be shared and with whom. As people's lives become more connected to digital platforms, protecting digital privacy becomes increasingly important. This analysis examines whether India's security and human rights legislation meets international standards. While Indian security regulations generally align with global norms, there are some outliers due to sloppy execution and political misuse. The government has begun manipulating free speech, with little assistance from "censoring," to create an image that aligns with their agendas. The concepts of "censorship" and "Right of freedom of expression" are on opposite sides of a spectrum, and the unjustified relaxation of censorship claims contradicts its own justifications. Censorship is a transnational phenomenon that impacts all nations equally, adapted by every administration to suit its social and cultural norms. The power battle between the Censor Board and the importance of free speech is a key issue. The constant data collection and processing in the market makes the right to privacy an increasingly pressing issue in this modern age. The advent of digitization has led to illegal practices such as data fraud, hoax contacting, and cyber harassment. Data acquisition, storage, monitoring, recording, access, processing, dissemination, and upkeep are not regulated by any national statute. Therefore, understanding and protecting digital privacy is essential for maintaining a healthy and inclusive society.
