Digital India Act to strike balance between innovation and social issues: Vaishnaw

Unlike the European Union (EU) model of stressing overly on regulations, India’s upcoming Digital India Act will give equal weightage to innovation and social issues, communications and IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told FE in an interview.

This means that the regulations will not only protect the safety of users, but also give space to companies for developing new technologies without imposing rules, which throttle innovation.
