Many people are telling me in the comments that SIM binding doesn’t affect anything and I’m overreacting. Let me walk you through why this matters. First, let me be clear. SIM binding by itself is not surveillance. I’m not saying the government is reading your chats. The concern is structural. Under the new TIUE framework, the government now has the power to direct platforms to stop providing services to any specific phone number. No court order needed. No judicial oversight. No requirement to even notify the user. The Internet Freedom Foundation flagged this directly in their letter to DoT. Think about what that means for independent journalism in a country ranked 161 out of 180 on the Press Freedom Index. India has no source protection law for journalists. The Whistleblower Protection Act 2014 only covers disclosures to “competent authorities,” not to the press. Now every messaging account is tied to a KYC-verified SIM, which is tied to your Aadhaar. Every anonymous source, every whistleblower, every activist becomes easier to trace. The Editors Guild of India already warned that new data rules “create a chilling environment for reporters and weaken the public’s right to know.” Now the practical impact on you and me. You use WhatsApp on a tablet without a SIM slot? Might stop working or log you out every 6 hours. Travel abroad and swap to a local SIM? You lose WhatsApp access. Run a small business on WhatsApp Web? QR code login every 6 hours now. The Broadband India Forum, representing the actual tech industry, said this will “impose material inconvenience on ordinary users” while offering “limited incremental benefit against sophisticated fraud networks.” Now here’s what other countries do to fight cyber fraud instead. The EU built the European Digital Identity Wallet. User-controlled, open source, privacy preserving. Verifies identity without tying every app to a SIM card. The UK built a Digital Identity Trust Framework with private sector participation. Europe introduced double authentication for payments which actually reduced fraud without touching messaging apps. Singapore uses SingPass for secure digital identity. None of them said “tie your WhatsApp to your SIM or we shut it down.” India chose the one approach no other democracy has tried. Not because it’s more effective. But because it’s easier to implement top-down without public consultation or parliamentary debate. The question isn’t whether you have something to hide. The question is whether a government should be able to disconnect your communication without a court order in a country that has no law protecting the people who speak up. That’s not about today. That’s about what becomes possible tomorrow.

@skyofequity @gaze_observer ITC owns ITC Infotech which is a mid tier IT services company and Sanjiv Puri was the CEO of it

@gaze_observer If Sanjeev Puri of ITC is having an opinion on IT then " Smoke " has to be there. ITC and IT both have "IT" in common. And PPFAS have both ITC & IT neck deep. 🙂

AI Hype Ahead of Reality, Says Mphasis; IT Demand Seen Resilient Mphasis Global Delivery Head Ravi Vasantraj said markets are overestimating short-term AI impact while underestimating long-term adoption. He described the current phase as an “adjustment” rather than disruption, with enterprises focusing on scaling and execution, not just visibility. Legacy automation tools existed before the current AI buzz; firms are using this period to speed up decision-making rather than replace labour immediately. Full automation remains distant due to security, regulatory and data constraints; AI adoption will be gradual and use-case driven. AI-led efficiency gains are unlikely to dent IT demand structurally in the near term. Separately, ITC MD Sanjiv Puri said recent IT stock corrections are an overreaction, arguing that technology shifts historically expand economic activity rather than shrink it. He noted that AI is creating productivity gains and new business models, supporting long-term demand for IT services.

@sparkliin Shut up loser

Mbappé said he heard him say it five times. How is that possible, considering how long it would take to call someone that name five times? How come Camavinga, who was closer, didn’t hear him? I’m not excusing racism; I just want everything to add up so that no one is unjustly victimized. Racism should always be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. At the same time, when an accusation is this serious, the details need to be clear and consistent so the right conclusion is reached. Fairness matters on both sides. #NoToRacism

@NsNitinsinha @throttleandtech 😂😂

@throttleandtech G Wagon, Defender and Urus ❤️

Wagon R Syros Fronx side by side. Suzuki really cooked with the design of Fronx

@NoLimitGains @grok explain

🚨 TOMORROW WILL BE INSANE CME margin hikes are coming, for the second time in three days. THEY ARE DESPERATE. Starting Feb 2 (tomorrow), maintenance costs are going to skyrocket. Check these insanity levels: – Gold: +33% – Silver: +36% – Platinum: +25% – Palladium: +14% Don't let them fool you. this isn't about managing volatility. This screams that a major player is blowing up and they’re scrambling to protect the clearing firms. The flush we saw on friday wasn't selling, it was a forced liquidation bloodbath. Get ready. Btw, I think a huge market crash is coming in the next few months. When I officially exit the market, I’ll say it here publicly. Alot of people will regret not following me sooner.

@theMadridZone STFU , Arbeloa can play FC 26 with them😂😂

🚨 Alvaro Arbeloa: “Are Vinicius, Mbappe, Jude and Valverde untouchable? The best players should play when they’re available. They’re world class.”

@theMadridZone STFU

🚨 Alvaro Arbeloa: "Vini, Jude, Mbappé, Fede untouchables? The people who want those players off the pitch are NOT Madridistas, they don't like Madrid."

@PaulNiklas8 Minus Z tier

Where does larping as a millionaire and selling PDFs on gumroad rank?

@arnav_kumar Your ghostwriter is good in making up stories 😂

Met a top 0.1% founder. This is how the conversation went.. Me: "Who has been your best mentor, that you go to for business advice" Him: "Chatgpt and Gemini. I just give it all the business context on the problem I am trying to solve and it tells me what I should d, who has done it the best.. and points me to reference material and people" Me: "What has been the biggest unlock or learning in the last year. Something that has really made an impact on your productivity and success" Him: "Using chatgpt and Gemini for everything" Me: "You used to meet a lot of people to learn from them. Who have you met off late that has impressed you?" Him: "I have stopped doing that ever since I discovered Gemini and Chatgpt" 😂

@redknightsofkop @thescreenlad Madrid fans have some standards unlike Liverpool dogs 😂

@thescreenlad haha arrogancy from the front,,, accept the fact that u r now a mid club with full of avg players

🚨Florentino Pérez says that Benfica MUST be beaten, otherwise there will be major consequences. He is already unhappy with the play-off round, because he believes it damages the royal status of Real Madrid. According to the president, they must win the Champions League for the 16th time this year.

@championswimmer Too much analysis paralysis lol

This does tank the premise of selling ads on the order page right? As AI does more jobs for you, the value of ads in surfaces that humans "had to" navigate through, drops because they assign the AI to do it for them instead. These drops of attention collected on the side of the information highway are drying up.

@theMadridZone They needed rest to prepare for the boos on sunday

🚨 No training today. Alvaro Arbeloa has given the players a day off.

@ErrolTostigson Your worthless opinions are not needed😂

Indian as a country should not exist. It’s a mish mash of different countries only ever brought together as a concept by the British. When the British pulled out, it should’ve been broken up into dozens, possibly even hundreds, of different countries.

@RmaDonyfc New boots😭

Things Real Madrid players need for us to dominate : Vinicius - Sell Mbappe - Big game moments Rodrygo - LW Bellingham - Vitinha Tchouameni - Sell Arda Guler - physicality Carreras - Rodrygo Huijsen - Bench & physicality Asencio - New boots/ Different boots Valverde - make overlapping runs Camavinga - Consistency Mastantouno - End product Brahim Diaz - More minutes Militao, Rudiger & Trent - new legs

@investor_sr33 PS1 came in 1990s

Visit the official PlayStation Store on Brigade Road, the only one in South India. Run by Mr. Suhail, whose family has owned it since 1939. He explains everything patiently and in detail. Standout fact: PS5 is never repaired, only replaced. Under warranty: full replacement. Out of warranty: pay a small fixed amount for replacement. No local repairs; all handled via Tokyo. This clarity builds trust. Mr. Suhail is Secretary of the Brigade Shops & Establishments Association and helped design Brigade Road’s shop layout and parking. If in Bengaluru, don’t buy a PS5 online or elsewhere. Buy it here. Some stores prioritize experience over discounts.
