India's Election Commission, a constitutional body responsible for conducting free and fair elections in the country, has finally heard the concerns of the citizens and has called off its plans to use google to help voters locate polling stations. In the guise of providing this as a social service, Google was trying to get the demographic data of the entire population of India directly from the government. What was that again? "Dont be evil"? yeh! right.
The EC said Google had proposed to provide electoral look up services for citizens to help in Commission's efforts for better electoral information services.
What's wrong with that?
Are you affiliated with any of the local companies lobbying to get that contract instead?
