Draft data protection rules include deletion of social media accounts upon death, unless relatives are nominated (www.thehindu.com)

This is bad, like very bad. The proposed draft law in India, in its current form only prescribes deletions and purges of inactive accounts when the users die. There should be a clause where archiving or lock/suspension (like Facebook's memorialization feature) are described as alternative methods to account deletion.

If the law as it is is pushed through and passed by the legislature the understanding of the past will be destroyed in the long term, just like how the fires in LA have already did to the archives of the notable composer Arnold Schoenberg.

If you're an Indian citizen you can go to this page to post your feedback and concerns.
