Data Protection Bill does not protect us — it attacks our rights
Not only does it sound the death knell for the RTI Act, but it also makes anyone and everyone who deals with someone else's information liable for prosecution for any breach of its provisions.

Imprisoning A Child is A ‘Flagrant Violation’ Of The Law, Yet Police Freely Violate The Law, 77% Of Detentions In UP
Despite the Supreme Court calling the detention of children ‘a flagrant violation of the law’, right-to-information data reveals at least 79 such detentions, 61 from Uttar Pradesh alone over five years. Juvenile justice law clearly says that no child in conflict with the law can be placed in a police lock-up or jail.

Ten Reasons Why The Digital Personal Data Protection Law Doesn't Empower Citizens
Among the ten-point list of issues this Bill doesn't address is unchecked data collection by employees, the weakening of the RTI Act, and the sanctioning of a data protection board that will be beholden to those in power.

India’s Data Protection Bill a threat to privacy
The Bill violates the right to privacy, grants unchecked powers to the government, and expands the scope for surveillance. The rights of 1.4 billion people in India hang in the balance.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hold a detailed hearing on a bunch of petitions seeking to bring political parties under the ambit of Right to Information (RTI) Act but underlined obvious limitations. The apex court posted the hearing for August 1 but responded to the petitioners’ clamour for an expeditious adjudication of the long-pending issue by saying, “We do not think we can ask the political parties why they selected a particular candidate to contest from a constituency.”

미 연방 하원의원 21명이 토니 블링컨 국무장관에게 서한을 보내, 타이완을 다른 APEC 회원국과 동등하게 대우하고 차이잉원 총통을 11월 샌프란시스코 정상회의에 초청할 것을 요청했습니다.
타이완은 수년간 APEC에 참가한 경험을 갖고 있기도 합니다.
타이완의 차이잉원 총통이 주타이완 미국상공회의소 Amcham(암참)타이완이 개최한 연회에 참석했습니다.
차이 총통은 암참 회원 80% 이상이 타이완에 대한 투자를 유지하거나 확대할 예정이며, 현재 타이완이 미국의 8번째로 큰 무역 파트너라는 점을 들어 조금만 더 노력하면 7번째나 6번째로 큰 무역 파트너가 될 수 있다고 말했습니다.
그리고 자유무역협정 FTA 체결 가능성도 모색할 것이라고 밝혔습니다.
아프리카 가봉의 알리 봉고 온딤바 대통령이 시진핑 중국 국가주석과 회담한 뒤, 「하나의 중국」 원칙에 따라 타이완은 중국의 불가분의 일부이고, 중국의 주권과 영토 보전을 해치는 어떠한 언행도 반대하며 「국가 통일」을 실현하기 위한 중국 정부의 노력을 확고히 지지한다고 발표했습니다.
이에 대해 타이완 중화민국 외교부는 가봉이 중국의 침략 확장 음모를 따르는데 대해 엄중하게 항의하고 규탄했습니다.
영국의 제임스 클레버리 외무부 장관은 타이완해협이 중국 내정에 속한다는 것에 전혀 동의하지 않는다고 밝히고, 타이완해협 문제의 평화적 해결과 충돌 방지가 국제사회 이익에 부합한다고 강조했습니다.
클레버리 장관은 다음주 영국의 대(對)중국 정책에 관한 연설을 할 예정이기도 합니다.
타이완은 현재까지 중국 대륙산 9천8백여 항목의 제품 수입을 개방하였고, 나머지 2455개 항목에 대해서도 필요하다고 여겨지면 상담을 환영한다고 합니다.
양안관계 주무기관인 대륙위원회 추타이산 위원장의 말입니다.
