the whole story is covered here, <a href="http://thewire.in/2015/06/09/israeli-firm-strong-arms-indian-techie-for-exposing-suspicious-code/" rel="nofollow">http://thewire.in/2015/06/09/israeli-firm-strong-arms-indian...</a><p>Airtel which is a popular telecom provider in India with millions of subscribers is injecting javascript code into its user's content unknown to its users. This is being done to show them ad. This completely breaks NetNeutrality as ISP shouldnt play any role in modifying content of the user.
It is doing this using services of an Israeli company which means all the browsing session information is being shared with them in some or other way which completely compromises the user's privacy.
This is very ugly and that now the company is trying to arm-twist the developer who found to cover it up is worse.
In India, privacy laws are not well defined and unless there is some people's action on the street about this, there is a good chance it will be just buried.
No hopes from the current government which is busy cosying up private companies in whatever way it can.
Someone should tell that crappy lawfirm that threatening to bring criminal charges to attempt to induce a financial settlement can itself lay the basis for a criminal extortion charge in the US.
