Unmasking the Telecoms Bill 2023: Digital Authoritarianism in India? | Apar Gupta
Join Advocate Apar Gupta (https://www.youtube.com/@AmaltasTalks) in this eye-opening episode of Amaltas Talks, where we delve deep into the implications of the Telecommunications Bill 2023, highlighting how it may affect privacy, free speech, and online communication in India. This episode covers everything from the power of the Indian government to regulate Over The Top services (OTTs) like WhatsApp and Gmail, to how the bill may actually impact encryption and increase government surveillance.
It also discusses the potential consequences on ordinary Indians, with potential fines for failing to share required information and the likeliness of Aadhar becoming a compulsory requirement for access. This analysis is also set within broader context of increased state power, surveillance and lack of transparency - which could potentially shape India into a 'digital authoritarian state'.
Lastly, a closer look at the telecommunication growth trends are provided, highlighting a significant slowdown and emphasises the need for comprehensive strategies to bridge the digital divide.
