The freedom of speech and
expression as well as the right to privacy in cyber space is subject to same
restrictions as outside it. The gravity of the situation lies on the fact that
the data in cyber world is not bound to geographical boundaries but is shared
across the globe. The threats of cyber terrorism and incidents of citizens’ protests
of their governments on social networking platforms has led to the governments
taking the cyber world seriously and also imposed certain surveillance measures
as well. However, the fact that one country is using e-surveillance to monitor
data from all other countries is outrageous. Privacy and security are both
basic rights but which at the cost of the other is the question. And also the
question remains, how much privacy should be curtailed to ensure security?
