(Quartz) India’s new surveilla nce network will make the NSA green with envy

Quartz has a post today on India's CMS:
http://qz.com/99019/no-call-email-or-text-will-be-safe-from-indias-surveillance-network/

"*The CMS, by contrast, will give nine Indian government agencies—including
the tax department—the power to access, in real-time, phone conversations,
video conferences, text messages, emails, and even internet search data and
social media activity, and will work without any independent oversight,
Reuters reports; the agencies can start monitoring targets without the
approval of the courts or the parliament. The top bureaucrat in charge of
the federal interior ministry and selected state-level officials will
reportedly be authorized to approve surveillance requests.*"


Best,
Manish
