Image
  Hi readers, In the previous blog, we discussed the impact of various OTT platforms in the present times. It is known to us that these platforms are not regulated by the government of India and there have been many protests against the content presented on them. There have been many incidents where many Bollywood celebrities have also demanded the regulation of government on these platforms but there is a section of society whose beliefs are contradictory to this. According to them, if the government exercises its control on these OTT platforms, then this will result in choking the right to expression and freedom of speech of the content creators.  In this blog, we will study both the angles of this situation and try to derive a conclusion after a detailed analysis.  Let's get started...

TANDAV CONTROVERSY: PART 1 [B.33]

 Hello everyone, In the last blog, I talked about the difference between freedom of expression and hate speech and I said that, I will continue the series in my upcoming blogs but today's blog is not directly connected with it but to some extent it is. We are living in an age where the war is between ideologies through information. Data sharing is one of the key weapon in this kind of warfare. Economies across the world in the year 2021 can not afford a conventional war through weapons hence the easiest and the cheapest way  is war through information.

Hello everyone,  Usually, I write blogs on socio-political issues but this blog is a little out of the box. Recently WhatsApp introduced a new privacy policy for all its users and this created a lot of stir in the market and among common users like us. As a result, many people have decided to use an alternative messenger application. So without any further delay, let's get started. Whenever any user has installed the previous versions of WhatsApp, the privacy policy used to include this statement:- "Respect for your privacy is coded into our DNA. Since we started WhatsApp, we have aspired to build our services with a set of strong privacy principles in mind." This is a mark of security that your data is secure and kept safe, but the new privacy policy does not include this statement, this is the first reason which is the cause of confusion across the globe.  Removal of this statement does not mean that data will now be shared with someone, in fact, the end-to-end encrypti
