- Central_Monitoring_System abstract "The Central Monitoring System, abbreviated to CMS, is a clandestine mass electronic surveillance data mining program installed by the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), an Indian Government owned telecommunications technology development centre, and operated by Telecom Enforcement Resource and Monitoring (TERM) Cells. The CMS gives India's security agencies and income tax officials centralized access to India's telecommunications network and the ability to listen in on and record mobile, landline and satellite calls and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and read private emails, SMS and MMS and track the geographical location of individuals, all in real time. It can also be used to monitor posts shared on social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and to track users' search histories on Google, without any oversight by courts or Parliament. According to a government official, an agency "shall enter data related to target in the CMS system and approach the telecom services provider (TSP), at which point the process is automated, and the provider simply sends the data to a server which forwards the requested information". The intercepted data is subject to pattern recognition and other automated tests to detect emotional markers, such as hate, compassion or intent, and different forms of dissent. Telecom operators in India are obligated by law to give access to their networks to every legal enforcement agency. From 2014 onwards, all mobile telephony operators will be required to track and store the geographical location from which subscribers make or receive calls, meaning that, in addition to the contact number of the person a caller speaks to, the duration of the call and details of the mobile tower used, the Call Data Records (CDR) will now also contain details of the caller's location. The system aims to attain a tracking accuracy of 80% in the first year of operation, followed by 95% accuracy in the second year, in urban areas. Commander (rtd) Mukesh Saini, former national information security coordinator of the Government of India, expressed fears that all CDR details would eventually be fed into the central server for access through the CMS.The Times of India described CMS as "the single window from where government arms such as the National Investigation Agency or the tax authorities will be able to monitor every byte of communication." Prior to CMS, agencies had had to seek court orders for surveillance, and had to send in an individual request to a telecom operator or Internet service provider whenever it wanted to monitor the activity of a particular target. The Ministry of Home Affairs now has the sole power to decide who to monitor. The system was created without approval from Parliament, provides no avenues for redress and places no consequences in case of abuse. The government stated that the cost of implementing CMS was 400 crore (US$67 million). However, on 21 June 2013, The Hindu, reported that it had obtained project documents relating to CMS, which showed that the project's budget was "nearly double" that amount.There has been no public debate about the system, and the government has said little about how it will work or how it will ensure that the system is not abused. The government has not stated how the data it collects is stored, secured, accessed or deleted. The government claims that the sole purpose of the CMS is to protect the country against terrorism, and it refuses to disclose details about the system, claiming that doing so, would make it far less efficient. However, human rights and civil-liberties groups fear that the system is prone to abuse. India does not have any formal privacy legislation to prohibit arbitrary monitoring. The new system comes under the jurisdiction of the Indian Telegraph Act, a law formulated by the British in 1885 during the Raj, which allows for monitoring communication in the "interest of public safety."".
