This year we celebrate 5 years of the Supreme Court’s Right to Privacy Judgement.

Bengaluru International Centre (BIC)

[ Note: This is an in-person event, happening at BIC, Bengaluru ] This year we celebrate not only 75 years of independence in August, but also 5 years of the Supreme Court’s Right to Privacy Judgement. These anniversaries when juxtaposed against the deterioration of democratic freedoms as per multiple global indices prompt cynicism. Today, there exists legitimate concern that, enveloped by surveillance capitalism and national security. It is not wholly unreasonable for Indians to question the value of the Supreme Court judgement, for its lack of enforcement or ability to deliver on its promise of informational privacy. Our lack of trust in institutions, scandals around the pegasus spyware or large social media companies leave many to ask, is there much to celebrate?To mark the fifth year of the Puttaswamy Judgement, join us in reflecting on growing public cynicism which is matched by the increasing use of technology. First, by stepping beyond the frameworks of the courts and legislatures, we hope to engage technologists in a panel conversation on how specific technology choices as system designers and companies can help  promote user privacy. This will be followed by a discussion on the social and political reality of India in which our rights are preached, but not practised. The objective of the discussion is to move beyond the binary of a digital dystopian, or a utopian society. To confront challenges to our shared future, through more thought, courage and for some, even enthusiasm.S﻿tay tuned for details and speakers announcement<a href="https://www.internetfreedom.in/donate" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stand up for your Right to Privacy.
