IRCTC, Twitter A parliamentary panel overseen by Shashi Tharoor was summoned to discuss data security

On Friday, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology, chaired by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, has invited Twitter and the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to testify. Concerns over “citizens’ data security and privacy” have prompted the summoning of the microblogging platform and the railway ticketing service. The Personal Data Protection (PDP) Bill, 2019, was withdrawn by the centre just days prior to the legislative hearing. A new bill will now take its place.

Twitter’s administration and membership would be questioned by the Tharoor-led parliamentary inquiry, according to sources who have been contacted by PTI. It is also possible to inquire about the social media site’s favouritism of a specific political party.

The IRCTC, which has over 10 crore subscribers, has recruited a consultant to monetize passenger data in the meantime. The panel can question why a consultant was hired. The sources stated that IRCTC could also be questioned over the tender that was floated to employ the expert.

The sources claim that the Tharoor-led panel has been talking with different stakeholders on data security and privacy. These include social media businesses, internet companies, government agencies, and other regulators. The panel’s report will probably be completed before August 30.

The Personal Data Protection (PDP) Bill, 2019, was withdrawn earlier this month by the federal government, which is headed by Information and Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. This statute will now be repealed in favour of a “comprehensive measure” for “modern digital privacy regulations.”

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
