Wiki flags worries on data law

New Delhi: Wikimedia Foundation, a nonprofit that hosts and operates Wikipedia along with other free and collaborative projects, has expressed concerns over proposed changes to the IT intermediary rules. Wikimedia wrote to the Union minister for electronics and IT, Ravi Shankar Prasad, on issues around automated filtering of content, setting up of a local entity and traceability of content, proposed under the rules.

In the letter, Amanda Keton, General Counsel, Wikimedia Foundation said the new draft rules have not been made public even after a year since official consultations on the draft were completed.
