Re: Anyone know if this news is true ? Airtel spying ...

All on-line companies (including search engines) collect browsing data,
history,  internet behaviour, etc. for "better experience" - the so called
"big data" which is then processed through analytics to provide targeted
marketing, etc. so I should not be surprised by what airtel and co are
doing.

As you remember, I had suggested that most of these data are "warehoused"
outside India to avoid Indian laws concerning privacy.

So what I suspect is that the data collected is warehoused by Israeli
company.

Again, without knowing the details, it is highly likely that all Airtel
users have allowed it to collect data - so nothing unusual there.

Neither is move vy Israeli co move to stop a hacker, however benevolent.
