Earlier this month, I gave a presentation introducing Prav along with my friend Arun. Many people got curious and asked various questions about the project. However, I was surprised that nobody inquired about the operation of a privacy messaging service in India, especially considering the weakening privacy laws in the country as highlighted in this article.
The conference where I presented had at least two talks/discussions on the policy/law aspects of technology. Even outside the conference, I did not encounter this question, which I believe is crucial. It seems that people are not yet fully aware of the implications of the new IT rules.
Update on 27 May 2023: This question was later raised on social media, reminding me of a similar question asked here before I wrote this post.
