Watch out
for eves droppers on internet,
warn experts
NEW DELHI,
July 23: The E-mail
revolution in the internet era
has increased the risk of eves
dropping making the experts opine
that a law should be enacted to
curb intrusion into ones
right to privacy especially as
the new Information and
Technology Act is silent on this
aspect. The right to privacy has
been held by the Supreme Court as
an integral part of fundamental
right to life under article 21 of
the constitution but sadly most
of the internet users, as in the
real world, are ignorant of the
safeguards against violation of
privacy, the experts say.
According to them, with internet
making forays into every nook and
corner of India and on-line crime
multiplying, there is an
legislation vis-a-vis privacy,
before the cyber menace really
takes an alarming proportion.
