The Indian government has, once again, stirred up a storm in the realm of digital regulation. Earlier, it faced a public outcry that led to the withdrawal of its directive mandating the pre-installation of the government's cybersecurity application, 'Sanchar Saathi,' on smartphones. Now, a proposal originating from the telecommunications sector, which advocates for "the constant activation of satellite positioning tracking on smartphones," is making its way through the government's review pipeline. This has reignited widespread apprehensions among the public regarding privacy and security. The core objective of the proposal is to leverage satellite positioning technology for more stringent monitoring of smartphone users. However, tech giants like Apple, Google, and Samsung have unequivocally voiced their opposition, expressing concerns that such a measure would encroach upon user privacy.
