Celebrities included MS Good Will Ambassador Mr Milind Soman and MTV Roadies Judge Mr Raghu Ram who led the rally from the front. According to Ms Sheela Chitnis, chairperson, MSSI Mumbai Chapter, "The event is more than a ride-it's motivation, solidarity, personal accomplishment, and the knowledge that we can make a difference in the life of youth, imparting them with the promise of a better, healthier future." Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an auto-immune disease in which the body attacks its own cells and tissues. Due to damage in the nerve layer i.e. myelin sheath, transmission of signals from the brain and spinal cord gets affected. The most common symptoms are weakness in the limbs, numbness, sudden loss of balance, blurred vision that may lead to paralysis. The disease mostly strikes youth at a time when are starting new careers, relationships or making plans for the future.

At the conference, there was a collective recognition of the unfolding impact of digitalization on various aspects of social, cultural, and political life in South Asia. We had a keen sense of how much things had changed in the South Asian mediascape since the introduction of cable and satellite television in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We were also aware of the growing interest in media studies within South Asian studies, and hoped that the conference would resonate with scholars from various disciplines across the humanities and social sci- ences.

Right to Be Forgotten
Right to be Forgotten July 26, 2021 In news Ashutosh Kaushik, a television personality who rose to popularity in 2007 after winning MTV Roadies and then Bigg Boss the following year, has approached the Delhi high court for his ‘right to be forgotten.’ What is his demand? He requested the court that his videos, photographs and articles etc. be removed from the internet citing his “Right to be Forgotten”. Because they have caused him psychological pain for diminutive acts. In his plea, Kaushik also maintains that the “Right to be Forgotten” goes in sync with the “Right to Privacy”, which is an integral part of Article 21 of the Constitution, which concerns the right to life. Kaushik’s plea refers to an incident from 2009 when he was held by the Mumbai traffic police for drunken driving. Meaning of ‘Right to be Forgotten’ The right to be forgotten is the right to have private information about a person be removed from Internet searches and other directories under some circumstances. In India, it falls under the purview of an individual’s right to privacy, which is governed by the Personal Data Protection Bill that is yet to be passed by Parliament. The Right to Privacy was declared a fundamental right under article 19 by the Supreme Court in its landmark verdict in Puttaswamy case in 2017. Personal Data Protection Bill on Right to be Forgotten The Bill aims to set out provisions meant for the protection of the personal data of individuals. Clause 20 under Chapter V of this draft bill titled “Rights of Data Principal” mentions the “Right to be Forgotten.” It states that the data principal (the person to whom the data is related) shall have the right to restrict or prevent the continuing disclosure of his personal data by a data fiduciary.

It can find a route into a target’s device that is unknown to the developer of the device and its software, and without requiring the target to take any action such as clicking a link. Pegasus: The beginnings According to a profile of the NSO Group published by the French nonprofit Forbidden Stories, which has published the „Pegasus Project‟ along with its media partners, the company was started by Shalev Hulio and Omri Lavie, friends who started out with a product placement startup MediaAnd in the early 2000s. The startup was all but washed out by the recession of 2008, but Hulio and Lavie found an opportunity in the 2007 launch of Apple‟s iPhone. It marked a watershed moment — people began to use handheld devices for more than just calling and texting at scale.
