Encryption policy would have affected emails, operating systems, WiFi: by Prasad Krishna — published Sep 25, 2015 — filed under: IT Act, Internet Governance
Our email data would have to be stored. If we connect to a WiFi, that data would have to be stored, and that's plain ridiculous. There is a problem when the government tries to target citizens to ensure national security, said Pranesh Prakash, policy director at the Bangalore-based Centre for Internet and Society.

Cyberspace in its Plurality: Cybercultures Workshop at TISS, Mumbai: by Nishant Shah — published Sep 23, 2008 — last modified Oct 31, 2008 10:38 AM — filed under: cybercultures, teaching, cyberspaces, pedagogy, education, digital pluralism
Cyberspace has become one of the most potent and persuasive metaphors of our times, enveloping and embracing a wide range and scope of areas across disciplines and perspectives. The cybercultures workshop is designed to be an introduction to the multiplicity of cyberspaces and internet technologies and the key questions which have emerged in the almost four decades of cyberculture theory. The workshop is designed across four days; each day dealing with a certain understanding of cyberspace – in its materiality, in its imagination, in its instrumentality – in order to present a comprehensive view of the vast terrain of cyberspace and its intersections with the contemporary worlds we live in.
