Govt can switch off internet in emergencies

KOLKATA/NEW DELHI: The Indian government has armed itself with powers to 'switch off' or kill the internet during times of national emergencies, becoming one of the first few countries to assume such far reaching authority.

Even as the US and other western nations debate the judiciousness of giving the government's complete control to shut down cyber traffic, India has moved a step ahead and incorporated a provision under the IT Act of 2008, giving the Central government, or any of its officers specially authorised by it, to block the internet if necessary.

The shutdown can happen in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, its defense, security of its states, friendly relations with foreign states or for public order. Failure to comply will result in imprisonment of up to seven years.

The implications of this move are immense as it gives the government overriding powers over a fast-growing and widely used resource, and one that is becoming increasingly crucial in conducting commerce and social interaction.

The country has about 70 million internet users, a figure growing at about 25 per cent every year. "Where the Central government or any of its officer specially authorised by it in this behalf is satisfied that it is necessary or expedient so to do in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of the state, friendly relations with foreign states or public order or for preventing incitement to the commission of any cognisable offence relating to above, it may subject to the provisions of sub-sections (2) for reasons to be recorded in writing, by order direct any agency of the government or intermediary to block access by the public or cause to be blocked for access by public any information generated, transmitted, received, stored or hosted in any computer resource," 69A of the Information Technology Amendment Act, 2008 says.

The amendment was pushed through in the weeks following the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai. Supporters of an internet 'kill switch', as it is being popularly called, say it will enable countries to prevent the spread of rumours and false information during times of national crisis and help coordinate a coherent response without any sign of public panic.

But it can also be misused by governments to shut down legitimate protests and exercise illegal power in the face of public opposition. The governments in the North Africa and the Middle East have been resorting to this tactic during the violent protests triggered in January this year against despotic rule.

The plan has drawn predictable ire from bloggers, activists and lawyers but the government also has its supporters. "If it's in national security's interest, switching off the internet for a short period is not unwelcome," says Amrita Chaudhary, director at Cyber Cafe Association of India. "It is not a bad idea to switch off the internet for security reasons. But we should distinguish between national security and privacy," Naresh Ajwani, secretary at Internet Service Providers of India, said.

Not satisfied with this provision, India is now moving ahead to develop alternate plans in case the 'switch' does not work. The draft plan by the Cabinet Committee on Security and Ministry of Home Affairs along with Ministry of IT & Communications to 'choke' the internet at will, which ET reported last year, is also learnt to be in its final stages.

Choking refers to handicapping the servers by subjecting it to multiple requests and attacks and preventing it from functioning effectively. Some experts believe that this may be easy to implement than a complete kill as the latter will be challenged in courts.

"Although it may be technically possible to block the Net in India, theoretically it may be very difficult given the dynamic nature of the constitution and the judiciary," cyber law expert Pavan Duggal said. If the government decides to block the internet, it may be challenged in any Indian court and would be subject to judicial review

Japan: Indian IT cos action plan

Bangalore: Amid fears of a nuclear catastrophe in Japan, domestic technology firms that have a presence in the country have begun to evacuate employees. While TCS has already started the process of relocation, Infosys and HCL have given its employees the option of returning to India . Cognizant, on the other hand, is giving its employees the option of moving to client locations within Japan or perhaps even to China or India.

India's largest IT company Tata Consultancy Services, which has already initiated the process of relocation, has over 200 employees in Japan. Of this more than half are Indians. "The safety of our employees is our top priority. We are ready to relocate our Indian employees and their families back to India as well as move our local Japanese employees and their families to other locations of safety," a company official said.

Infosys has 500 employees in Japan, of which 367 are Indians. "We have given them the option to come back and return again when things get better. Some people have already requested for relocation and they are in transit," said S D Shibulal, COO of Infosys. Cognizant Technology Solutions on the other hand is in consultation with its clients to move some of its employees to client locations in Osaka and moving other employees to India and China to support clients in the Japanese time zone. "As for the family members, we have given our associates the option to relocate them to India and China , as the case may be," a Cognizant spokesman said.

MindTree, meanwhile, is still monitoring the situation. "A war room has been set up under the leadership of the global head of the people function. We initiated the process of evacuation of families of employees yesterday (Monday). Today, we asked the employees also to return," Krishnakumar Natarajan, MD of MindTree said. The company has 20 Indians working in the country supporting five top Tokyo-based clients.

Though HCL has not asked employees to return, CEO Vineet Nayar said any employee who feels unsafe has the option to go to a "safe harbour" with his family. "We are in close contact with the Indian embassy in Japan, Indian nuclear agencies and Japanese nuclear agencies. They have informed us there is no cause for panic and safety standards are high," he said. HCL has 400 employees in Japan, of which 200 are Indians.

Smaller firms like Network Systems and Technologies (NeST) and IBS Software Services that have about 100 employees between them in Japan, are also bringing back their employees.

Wipro, however, has taken a different stand on the issue. The company's CEO TK Kurien said Wipro has 400 employees in Japan, of which 115 are Indians "and we treat all of them alike as everyone is facing the same situation." He said calling back Indians alone would not be a fair proposition. "In fact, we believe that it is fundamentally wrong. We also believe that it is important to show solidarity in times of need, cutting cultural and geographic boundaries," Kurien said.

Japan contributes about 2% of the total revenues for IT firms on an average.

The Mumbai Board has started a new help line for S.S.C and H.S.C students.

SSC/HSC Helpline will run from 7AM to 9PM
This help line will run upto 19-Mar-2010

Candidates who need any information on SSC/HSC can access this helpline on 022-27893756

Facebook gets a revamp

The world's largest social media website Facebook has rolled out a page redesign. The networking giant has removed tabs, and given page administrators the ability to post and comment on other Facebook Pages through a "Login as Page" feature. Here's an overview of the revamp:

* Links for the tabs have been moved over to the spot under the profile picture, and are now just links.

* Administrators can now comment as their page on other pages or other people's profiles. Users can no also receive email notifications about user comments on their Page, something previously only possible for comments on personal wall.

* Another addition is the new ability to "like" other Pages as your page. Previously, a user could only "like" something as an individual.

The new pages can be previewed and manually activated by page administrators over the next few weeks. Come March 1, and all pages will be automatically switched to the new design.
