New Delhi: Few days ago, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) made public the email Ids of almost a million people who supported net neutrality and in the process they also appear to have published a love letter written by a man to his girlfriend.
The mail was probably sent mistakenly to TRAI. The letter is still available here and is being widely shared online.
The TRAI had invited people’s responses and comments on the net neutrality issue and got a huge response with over a million emails in its database. These emails were from the common man and internet users around the country, who supported the net neutrality move and sent in their comments and support for the cause. However, the TRAI seems to have put these users at a higher risk by exposing each and every email ID to spammers out there.

The TRAI made public all the email IDs who supported their move on Savetheinternet.in. A PDF file on the TRAI’s website openly displayed every email ID that responded to the net neutrality cause.
This list was made public, exposing over a million email IDs for spammers to leech. The list also has a few phone numbers listed against the email IDs.
