The last couple of weeks have been exciting as netizens protested against platforms violating net neutrality and wrote back to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India in response to their consultation paper in favour of preserving it. Trai received an overwhelming response with more than 11 lakh emails.
Now, the regulator has put up all the responses on its website, along with your email address. Yes, you heard it right.
If you’ve written to Trai, then your email id is out there in public. Given that Trai is trying to be transparent, looks like it just doesn’t understand the nuances of the Internet or simply how things work.
By putting out your personal details online, it has now created a treasure trove for spammers alongside putting your confidential data at risk. All it had to do is simply blur the email addresses. After such recklessness, how will we possibly rely on them to frame a policy for the country.
