Even when the opposition was against the bill of DIGITAL PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION BILL, which was certainly passed in the Lok Sabha on Monday. The bill had certainly made some clarification about the purpose of the bill, it said that, the following bill was to provide a good combination of process and manner in which the digital personal data of the individual has to be merged in a way that it should not be vague and ambiguous.
The personal data therefore is confidential and hence it becomes hard for the individual to rely on the following information about their data. The bill applies to the whole of India for its online as well as offline data rectifications and recording of the data. Where the personal sharing of data or online sharing was only done on a consensual basis but only excluded self or volunteering sharing. Data handling and data security have to be performed by the assigned data fiduciaries.
The union minister for electronics and information technology introduced the bill naming it as a REGULAR BILL whereas the reports presented by the other platforms made judgments that it was a money bill. on 3rd August. The judgment was made by the former Union Minister and also a Congress politician MANISH TEWARI naming it as a money bill.
The central govt. is somehow exempted from abiding by the bill principles and to avoid uncertainties a bill board committee has been set up by the govt. for a term of 2 years and they can be reappointed too. The board has to look up to all the data-related grievances and that it has to ultimately make sure that no Fundamental right of the individual can be infringed and all the harm has to be judiciously recorded.
This bill is regarded as the 1st bill that uses SHE/HER titles to address all genders irrespective of the fact that they are as it is referring to all the individuals in common and not a particular section of individuals.
