NDA govt scraping the bottom of it's propoganda barrel, re-upping discredited "savings" from DBT figures, when we know that much of the savings are actually exclusion of real people from their entitlements https://twitter.com/CNNnews18/status/1464792898197671938

#CashlessConsumer #CoFT aka Card on File Tokenization - implementation by #JusPay for several merchants - where #Consent is taken without providing *any* details, except saying "RBI Guidelines" and using the word "Secure" in misleading way 🧵

I had thought this was struck down by the Supreme Court, right?

How is accessing a golf course a subsidy? What the hell is an automatic aadhaar access control system?

I had some draft tweets about why VCs and startup founders are so enthusiastic about the financial engineering that’s been unleashed by web3/crypto but @smdiehl beat me to it.

Tokens basically allow projects to IPO without any regulatory steps. It’s ICOs rebranded as web tech.

RT @Carnage4Life
It’s been startling to dig into web3 to find its just crypto where the focus has gone from making your own currency without regulation to selling your own stocks without regulation.

It’s the future of VCs & Wall Street financialization not the future of the world wide web.

Transparency is a must for any publicly funded research which may result in the development of policy and legislation with far-reaching effects on the general public. FRT is one such area, however Niti Aayog's failure to provide transparency signals a worrying trend.

RT @PanopticIndia
Heard about NITI Aayog’s proposed study on Responsible AI incl. facial recognition? We filed an RTI request to obtain more information regarding the study and vendor selection process. However, the response received lacks in transparency. Know more ⬇️

How will #India contribute meaningfully to the global Internet Governance community if we won't have issues that matter to the IG community? Everyone is looking towards #India to provide leadership as a 4th pillar in this fracturing: U.S., Europe, Authoritarian regimes and India

RT @MishiChoudhary
India is holding an #IGF after several years @AshwiniVaishnaw @Rajeev_GoI Sessions seem to cover ICT issues and not Internet Governance matters. Was multi-stakeholderism followed in designing these?

How do these create any link to the Regional and Global IGF?

Facts are as under.

1. 2017 saw a huge leap due to RJIO entry.

2. 2018-2020 saw hardly any growth.

3. Bharti hardly too any subs in 2019 & 2020.

4. Total subs market diminished in 2020.

5. 2021 saw equal growth by both RJIO & Bharti

Indian Telecom Subs Trends (Yearly)

With TRAI publishing the latest subs data for the month of Sept 21, I thought it will be a good idea to analyze the yearly trends on who contributed to this growth.

Pre-Legislative Consultation Policy 2014 mandates departments to proactively publish proposed legislation in the public domain and solicit comments and inputs for a minimum period of thirty days. We have analysed the PLCP compliance of the bills listed for the winter session.

Madras High Court : Considering the linguistic diversity amongst the people of the country, it would be more appropriate if efforts are taken to ensure that draft legislations, like the present one, are circulated in all the official languages across the country

Blockchain is best understood in geopolitical frame. Internet is now a sovereign country, now able to give its residents property rights using blockchain and people are immigrating to it. Doesn't have an army yet. Nation states need to decide if they want to be allies or enemies.
