NEW DELHI: Congress talks about safeguarding privacy, Trinamool warns of the misuse of surveillance and CPM proposes limiting the influence of technology behemoths. Leading political parties have woken up to the issue of digital rights in their poll manifestos, a move that has been welcomed by civil society and activists.

The Congress manifesto promises to safeguard privacy and personal data by passing laws. It also lays down ambitious goals like providing high quality internet at affordable rates. The party promises to uphold the principle of net neutrality as well so that the internet remains a level playing field. Another key proposal is to broaden RTI by making all government departments publish “non-private data sets” so that it can be accessed without RTI requests.

In the preface of the Trinamool manifesto, party chief Mamata Banerjee talks about the misuse of surveillance by the state and the controversial “communication” hub proposed by BJP to keep track of social media influencers. The CPM manifesto, meanwhile, expresses concern about the power technology giants have over the consumer.
