he Indian government has authorized 10 central agencies to intercept, monitor, and decrypt data on any computer, sending a shock wave through citizens and privacy watchdogs.

Narendra Modis government late Thursday broadened the scope of Section 69 of the nations IT Act, 2000 to require a subscriber, service provider, or any person in charge of a computer to extend all facilities and technical assistance to the agencies. Failure to comply with the agencies could result in seven years of imprisonment and an unspecified fine.

I'm part of a huge worldwide corporation, sending equipment to India is a fucking nightmare(Singapore as well) to the point where I suggest to my boss we just stop supporting them.

@Fony
Was India draconian in terms of tech before this? It's obviously bad that they did, but several news articles over the years have given me the impression that India is a total backwater in terms of privacy, freedom, and real democracy. Australia's move sets a lovely precedent that will be used to pass similar laws elsewhere, but India has never seemed (from afar) to be much of a democracy in the first place.

They let equipment sit in customs for weeks to months because they collect fees for each day it's in there and nobody from FedEx communicates with customs, then no one from customs communicates with local delivery services when you want to get shit moving along. I've had shipments sitting and rack up $1300 in fees from just sitting there and they do it all the time.

It's a fucking racket and now they're going to actually open and inspect our intellectual property lmao. We have proprietary software on these computers.
