If government departments share data with each other, government&#8217;s surveillance power increases. Monetization of data gives further incentive to collect more data.<\/p>\n<p>Although this law deals with government departments only, the data protection bill provides the government with the power to request private data. This could lead to issues as private businesses run on IP and secrecy of technology and data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anonymous data:\u00a0<\/strong> The issue with anonymous data is that though identifiers have been removed, anonymous data can be de-anonymized. This is more possible where there are multiple data sets with metadata that are connected to each other. E.g. one may combine data from the clinic, diagnostic center, and medical store to form a complete picture.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><strong>Read here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/data-openness-is-good-but-its-safe-use-is-a-must\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Data openness is good but its safe use is a must<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<\/strong>This post is based on the article &#8220;<strong>Real cost of data&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>published in the\u00a0<strong>Business Standard <\/strong>on\u00a0<strong>25th February 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News:\u00a0The Government of India has released a\u00a0\u00a0policy document called \u201cDraft India Data Accessibility &amp; Use Policy 2022\u201d.
