Pleased to share that @DGCAIndia has acted on airline passenger ask via @LocalCircles on seat allocation charges. It must be noted though they made only 60% seats free though the ask was for 80%! (Will share 2026 data soon) Thanks @RamMNK @MoCA_GoI @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare we will cheer but keep the issue open! @VishnuFNO @ProsaicView @malpani @ikaveri @RMantri @ggganeshh @kaushiks0390 @speakshoutroar @indraroy @TamannaInamdar

@sachintaparia @Nithin0dha @SmalhotraRBI @RBI Excellent pieces by @andymukherjee70 & @JagranNews to understand the issues! @sbalaji1 @VishnuFNO @ProsaicView @Mukesh_k @kushgrwl @ikaveri @malpani @upadhyay_harsh1 @himanikothari @ParthaSTOI @AA_speaks @GenericIPguy @JohnChacko63 @priteshlakhani bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

I am glad that more of us are raising these issues and thankful that @SmalhotraRBI @RBI is the first regulator after #CCPA notified dark patterns as illegal to act. We @LocalCircles have written to 5 other regulators and hopeful that they will also act. As far as banking#darkpatterns go what you have illustrated comes under #forcedaction dark patterns where for consumers to access certain services they are made to share unnecessary & redundant information soniy can be harvested later. See the top 4 banking dark patterns prevailing in India and the detailed report with examples: localcircles.com/a/press/page/o… Also thankful to you the following individuals who have either written about these issues or tweeted about them. Together we can make this better!! @andymukherjee70 @sbalaji1 @VishnuFNO @ProsaicView @Mukesh_k @kushgrwl @ikaveri @malpani @upadhyay_harsh1 @himanikothari @shrutiagl21 @ParthaSTOI @AA_speaks @GenericIPguy @JohnChacko63 @catale7a @kunalpurohit @priteshlakhani @Ravisutanjani

I don't use net banking apps on my phone because the mandatory permissions they ask for make no sense. Why does a banking app need access to my SMS, phone, contacts, etc., in the name of security, when not seeking invasive device permissions is, in fact, the global benchmark for cybersecurity. This is called the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP). “Don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you” has been at the heart of the Zerodha philosophy. This is exactly why we've built Zerodha the way we have. Kite asks for ZERO permissions on mobile, for instance, and this is one of the big reasons why millions of people trust us. What has enabled us is SEBI's mandatory strong two-factor authentication framework strike the right balance between security and privacy.

On #WorldConsumerRightsDay here is the latest #DarkPatterns status of Indian platforms and foreign ones operating in India. Even today, 96% platforms still have dark patterns. Consumers appreciate efforts of #CCPA @jagograhakjago & recently @RBI on this front. Also, hopeful that @SEBI_India @TRAI #irdai @DGCAIndia @MIB_India will also act soon so trust and transparency in online/digital transactions goes up in India.

Here is the @LocalCircles data from the week on the #LPG shortage in India. Bigger the town, bigger the issue, bigger the black marketing multiple. Most small towns are relatively better off. Of those households who bought this week, 14% bought it in black, 43% experienced delays/issues. localcircles.com/a/press/page/l… @VishnuFNO @ProsaicView @malpani @ggganeshh @ikaveri @kapsology @PunsterX @theskindoctor13 @sanket @ranvijaylive
