Supreme Court of India
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday observed that when 99 per cent of the citizens are "unconcerned" about sharing personal data with private players like Apple, how is it qualitatively different if the State has the same information.
Posing this question, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud told the counsel, "most citizens are unconcerned about where or how their personal data is used.
