have you noticed the sudden surge in emails from absent services with the subject line we're changing our privacy policy you've got Europe to thank for that starting today the most sweeping digital privacy laws in two decades come into play hashtag bye-bye UPSC has been trending for three days we explain if the defining feature of the executive wing of our government its independence is in jeopardy more ahead it's Friday May 25th [Music] for years the internet has seemed like the Wild West for personal data any company could take your data process it sell it and use it without asking you you may have agreed to share the data and click I agree on a long list of terms and conditions that you didn't read but did you know how your information was being used starting today at least in Europe all of that changes it's d-day for digital data every single company across the world dealing with even a single cookie and the browser of a user in the European Union whether their servers are in the EU or not will have to adhere to the general data protection regulation on GDP our failure to do so would lead to penalties up to 4 percent of the company's revenues from the previous financial year GDP our may also prove costly for Indian companies that deal with data and work in the eve an Indian policymakers will have to consider whether they should follow suit the Justice Shri Krishna committee report on data protection is expected any day now and it remains to be seen if it will take cues from the European example to put in place equally stringent provisions so how did GD P R start Europe's concern over data regulation dates back to 2030 when news of us is National Security Agency snooping and profiling citizens across the world broke in January 2014 EU vice-president and justice Commissioner Willie and reading said the surveillance revelations involve companies whose services we all use on a daily basis encryption has been weakened safeguards should apply and citizens should have rights a little more than two years later after intense debate the EU parliament passed the general data protection regulation beginning enforcement today so what is GDP are simply put it's about users reclaiming primary control of their data no information can be collected from users without explicit permission that must explain exactly what happens to the data after collection user privacy must be in the heart of the company's technical design not an afterthought the law asks for detailed compliance documentation as well [Music] a concept we explained in our episode dated April 16th users can ask their company forget them that is completely erase all data collected from that individual stop disseminating it and have third party users stop processing data to case in point Facebook who said they were unaware of how Cambridge analytical was using data collected through a Facebook quiz all data collected from users should be available to the user in a clean readable format the user can choose to put all their data to another company and ask the former to completely delete it this is especially important in healthcare education and insurance companies companies must now notify users of security breaches within 72 powers for companies that have been stashing user data for decades this is nothing short of a nightmare ing to one report flows to 80% companies that come under its ambit will fail to lead really PR ready by today incidentally when we checked with the official GDP our website yesterday this is what we saw the law also makes way for better data regulation across the world now companies either have the same privacy rules across countries or juggle between a different law for EU countries and no new countries Facebook the one is choosing to have separate laws in spite of CEO Mark Zuckerberg strophe use apology before the European Union on Tuesday and that goes for news foreign interference and elections and developers misusing people's information we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility now is a mistake it's almost an echo for hit on the US Senate ume bees fired questions about privacy loopholes was Facebook a monopoly but the CEO and reality is revealed very little shadow profiles sharing of data between whatsapp and Facebook the ability to opt out of political advertising and the true scale of data abuse on Facebook still remain in transparent what happens next in addition to all the companies that are unprepared for the new rules the next thing to watch will be how GDP ours provisions are interpret both by private firms and the various European regulators that will have to implement it for example one part of the law suggests firms should maintain a reasonable level of data protection but what is a reasonable level further there is no single organisation to certify level of compliance and smaller organizations especially we find themselves at a loss of legal entities to help them the other question will be how often will penalties actually be levied 4% of the annual revenue however is a significant sum and enough of an incentive to fall in line if the regulator's actually enforce the rules if they do the EU will set a precedent giving users control over data in a way that other jurisdictions will be forced to respond to even if they don't follow suit it's the backbone of the Indian government about to get a bit of corrective surgery a letter from the Department of Personnel and Training that went out to various departments last week said that the Prime Minister's office was asking for comments on a fundamental change in the way bureaucrats are selected in assigned the new system which is only a proposal would see incoming bureaucrats be assigned to one of the Indian civil services based not just on their results in the UPSC exams but also an evaluation that follows a foundation course and this suggestion has raised concerns from former iose officers worried about what it will change two political parties raising concerns about interference in the selection of bureaucrats here's what you need to know the Indian government is primarily run by bureaucrats from the All India Services often known as the backbone of the country these include the Indian Administrative Service the Indian Police Service the Indian Foreign Service and many more when Indians speak of a secure government job this is what they are aspiring to getting a job in the services requires a good rank on the exams conducted by the Union Public Service Commission often referred to as the civils more than 10 lakh candidates took the preliminary exam in 2017 hoping to fill around thousand vacancies a ratio that makes this exam highly competitive based on each person's score and rank in the exam they are assigned to a service whether it is I as ifs or so on as well as a coddle which is the state in which you will begin training and your bureaucratic work in the current system anyone who clears the civils exam is immediately assigned to a service and a cada and then sent to a three month foundation course to prepare them for the bureaucratic life the PMO proposal says candidates should be evaluated in assigned to services and cutters only after the foundation course rather than on the basis of justice cause in the exam although the note doesn't explain the rationale behind the proposal the idea seems to be that evaluating each candidate through the foundation cost would give training officers a better idea of how well those candidates will perform this then makes it easier for those officers to assign candidates to the services and Carters based on their performance the current examination system for the most part is objective since candidates are assigned services based solely on their marks and rank moreover it could also allow for political interference in the selection of candidates and could lead to discrimination by gender caste or class others still have questioned the Prime Minister's office's decision to put forward the proposal without wider consultations the new system would add much more subjectivity and also potentially foster an uncomfortable level of competition at the time of the foundation cause while it remains unclear how far the proposal will go the government's decision to proceed with reforms of the famously resilient civil services might open yet and on the front and prime minister narendra modi's long-term plan to alter indian institutions [Music] in 2015 fiercely Catholic Ireland became the first country in the
