Now, an expanded horizon of surveillance (GS-2 Governance)

08 Mar Now, an expanded horizon of surveillance (GS-2 Governance)

Cyber Crime Volunteers Program:

• Under Ministry of homeaffairs
• Works under Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre(I4C)
• It will help in identifying, reporting and in the removal of illegal/unlawful online content.
• It will act as lateral surveillance: Peer-Peer Survilliance

It is not today but a decade old practice to have check and balance by the society.

• Same thing done in USA about surveillance system, i.e. including the people into system
• Effect was a decrease in crime, more neighbourhood
• C-Plan App in .UP. was launched for keeping a tab on anti-social elements.
• It’s scope was very much enlarged during lockdown Issue:
• Privacy can be undermined.
• Both social control as well as social exclusion.
  • g. In south Korea LGBT community came underexclusive surveillance

• It will have tendency to increase intolerance, prejudice, xenophobia and casteism in our society.
