Abstract
With a majority of the human population on the internet, online activity has become the order of the day. And that is why the internet is where criminals of every hue and color join forces and innovate in innovative ways. Not all “lands” have laws to deal with cybersecurity and privacy. Criminals across the globe have exploited the gap between technology and laws. The Indian Constitution recognizes privacy as a fundamental right, albeit with certain restrictions. Governments, in the name of providing secure cyberspace, infringe upon the privacy rights of citizens. And surveillance in India is chiefly governed by the Indian Telegraph Act u/s 5, which permits the government and its agencies to surveil provided a qualifying prerequisite preexists. Various surveillance apparatuses have been established by the GoI. Allegedly, the surveillance regime poses a grave threat and a chilling effect on privacy and freedom of expression rights as enshrined in the Indian Constitution. This chapter discusses cybersecurity, privacy, and surveillance regimes in Indian cyberspace.
