G-Mail Is Violating Indian Cyber Law And May Be Banned In India


Indian government is taking Google lightly and Google is continuously
violating various laws of India. Now leading techno legal experts of India
have recommended that G-mail must be banned in India as it is abetting and
encouraging commission of various cyber crimes and cyber contraventions in
India.

The Delhi High Court has recently directed the Central Government to frame
the e-mail policy of India as soon as possible. While the Central
Government would come up with the e-mail policy very soon yet the State of
Maharashtra has already issued an advisory that has mandated that e-mail
service of G-mail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc would no longer be used in
government departments of Maharashtra.

Of all e-mail service providers the services provided by G-mail are most
noxious and violative of Indian laws. G-mail not only hides the Internet
protocol address of the originator of the communication but substitute its
own IP address with that of the originator. Thus, no person can ascertain
the IP address of a cyber criminal unless Google discloses the same and
getting information from Google is next to impossible for the ordinary
individual.



It is surprising why this fact has not been investigated by Indian
government so far. This practice of G-mail is clearly violating many
provisions of the IT Act, 2000 and till now Indian government has not
prosecuted Google/G-mail in this regard. It would be a good idea if the
proposed e-mail policy of India deals with this issue in length and make
suitable provisions regarding misuse of e-mail facilities provided by
G-mail as well.
