Privacy is not the singular concern of journalists or social activists. Every citizen of India ought to be protected against violations of privacy.<\/li>\n<li>We live in the era of information revolution, where the entire lives of individuals are stored in the cloud or in a digital dossier. We must recognize that while technology is a useful tool for improving the lives of the people, at the same time, it can also be used to breach that sacred private space of an individual.<\/li>\n<li>The right to privacy is directly infringed when there is surveillance or spying done on an individual, either by the State or by any external agency.<\/li>\n<li>In a democratic country governed by the rule of law, indiscriminate spying on individuals cannot be allowed except with sufficient statutory safeguards, by following the procedure established by law under the Constitution.<\/li>\n<li>It is undeniable that surveillance and the knowledge that one is under the threat of being spied on can affect the way an individual decides to exercise his or her rights. Such a scenario might result in self-censorship. This is of particular concern when it relates to the freedom of the press, which is an important pillar of democracy. Such chilling effect on the freedom of speech is an assault on the vital public-watchdog role of the press, which may undermine the ability of the press to provide accurate and reliable information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the Supreme Court was initially reluctant in interfering in the matter due to lack of material placed before it, here&#8217;s why it eventually decided to step in.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"OAMqJ8huUz\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2021\/10\/28\/pegasus-national-security-supreme-court\/\">Pegasus| &#8216;National security cannot be the bugbear that the judiciary shies away from&#8217;.
