The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments numbered I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments and which is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: India’s telecom watchdog has suggested regulation of all entities dealing with consumer data—devices such as iPhones, operating systems such as Android, browsers like Google’s Chrome and apps such as Facebook, Paytm, Uber or Zomato— by bringing them under licence conditions that apply to telecom service providers until a general data protection law is put in place by the government. Which of the following argument weakens the above statement in the best possible manner? Arguments: I. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) said the framework for protection of personal information is ‘not sufficient’ and that the issue of data ownership, privacy, and security is complex and multi-dimensional. It suggested expanding the ambit of licence conditions governing telcos to all entities handling customer information and empowerment of customers to keep their data secure. II. The telecom watchdog further said that individual users owned their data, or personal information, and entities such as devices were ‘mere custodians’ and do not have primary rights over that information. III. Telcos and internet service providers (ISPs) though welcomed recommendations that sought to bring app makers under the same regulations. However, content providers have been opposed to being brought under more regulation.
