#Breakingnews : This morning the #supremecourt of India delivered it’s #judgement on the indefinite #internet #shutdown in #Kashmir. The court has asked the J&K administration to review all restrictive orders within a week. According to reports the court has made the following findings:
· The freedom of speech and expression through the internet is a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(a);
· Freedom of trade and commerce through the internet is protected under Article 19(1)(g);
· Restrictions on internet have to follow principles of proportionality under Article 19(2); and
· Indefinite suspension of the internet is not permissible. It can only be for a reasonable duration and subject to periodic review.
This judgement is hugely significant for internet users and businesses. India has the dubious distinction of imposing more internet restrictions than any other country in the world. It has been estimated that India lost $1.3 billion as a result of internet shutdowns in 2019.
We are awaiting a copy of the judgement to understand the extent of its implications. Watch this space for more.

Read our team's clause-by-clause comparison of this bill with the draft proposed by the Justice B.N.Srikrishna Committee in 2018: www.ikigailaw.com/clause-by-clause-redline-2018-and-2019-personal-data-protection-bills/
Both bills differ in key areas like data localization, the introduction of a 'consent manager', expanded powers of the central government, non-personal data, obligations on social media intermediaries, and the composition of the DPA.
