Call for blogs
In the age of digitalisation and the internet, issues of data protection and privacy have come to the forefront. Discourse and jurisprudence on the right to privacy have been evolving with time, with developments and rapid advancements in technology constantly posing new privacy concerns.
A landmark moment came in 2017, with the decision of a nine judge bench in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India, which led to the right to privacy being declared a fundamental right. Subsequently, the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019, intended to protect the personal data of individuals, was introduced in the Lok Sabha in 2019. The Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 is reportedly considering including the protection of non-personal data within the ambit of the Bill. The report of the Committee is expected to be presented to the Parliament during the 2021 Winter Session. A new draft of the 2019 Bill is expected to be presented before the Parliament soon.
Privacy concerns have once again been in the limelight recently after reports alleged that the Pegasus software was being used to spy on hundreds of people all over the world including numerous in India. The Supreme Court of India, while ordering an independent probe into the allegations, noted that surveillance infringes on the right to privacy of an individual. One of the most important questions presented here was where does an individual’s right to privacy lie in the larger context of national security.
Through its diverse initiatives, CIS explores, intervenes in, and advances contemporary discourse and regulatory practices around internet, technology, and society in India, and elsewhere.

One of the most important questions presented here was where does an individual’s right to privacy lie in the larger context of national security.
Social media is currently considered as one of the biggest threats to individual privacy. Actions of social media giants recently have highlighted these issues. Facebook’s name change to “Meta” has brought the concept of a shared virtual space called the “Metaverse” to the forefront, which is expected to operate parallel to the real world. Such a world would require huge amounts of data for its operation, giving rise to issues related to users’ personal data and privacy rights.
Earlier this year, WhatsApp launched its new privacy policy which raised concerns regarding the ability of social media companies to collect and misuse user data in the garb of user consent even though no real choice has been provided to users.
This blog series aims to critically analyse the legal and regulatory framework surrounding the right to privacy and the legality of the surveillance. We welcome submissions from legal practitioners, academicians, students, and members of the legal fraternity.

The Legal Aid Society, National Law University Odisha, is a student-run committee of the University, constituted in 2012. The Society carries out its functions with the sole aim of providing access to justice to the disadvantaged and marginalized sections of the population, primarily by spreading legal awareness and legal education in educational institutions and underprivileged communities.
About the Blog
The Society believes that individuals equipped with pristine knowledge of the law are not to remain in ivory towers but to cater to social realities and needs. To promote this ideology, the Blog aims at allowing the authors to explore the legal realm and mould discussions about legal aid not limiting oneself to social gremlins but also widening their array to nascent laws prevailing in India as well as in foreign nations through a meticulous selection process.
The Blog endeavours to become the beacon of legal education by encouraging the synthesis of knowledge and best practices cutting across the academia and research fraternity.
