After ExpressVPN, Surfshark Decides to Shut Down VPN Servers in India Over Government's Order

Surfshark is set to provide virtual Indian servers located in ​​Singapore and London in place of its physical servers in the country.

 

Surfshark also said that it would continue to closely "monitor the government's attempts to limit Internet freedom and encourage discussions intended to persuade the government to hear the arguments of the tech industry."

The company mentioned that VPN service providers leaving the country was not good for the IT sector. Surfshark said that since 2004, 14.9 billion accounts have been leaked online — of which, 254.9 million are of users from India.

"Taking such radical action that highly impacts the privacy of millions of people living in India will most likely be counterproductive and strongly damage the sector's growth in the country. Ultimately, collecting excessive amounts of data within Indian jurisdiction without robust protection mechanisms could lead to even more breaches nationwide," the company noted.

India's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) passed the order requiring VPN service providers to keep a log of their users for at least five years and sharing them with authorities when required. It will come into force from June 27.

Shortly after the government's order became public, various VPN service providers expressed their dissent. NordVPN parent Nord Security was amongst the first ones to hint to remove its servers from the country if no other options are provided.

Are Banks "Silently" Looting You?   Main concept of a Bank:- The main concept of a bank is based on "trust" between the bank and the depositor and between the bank and loane(one who takes a loan) . Basically,people keep their money in banks for safety, security & to get interest while the banks use this money to give loans to others and make a profit from it. And from the profit , it gives a share to its depositors and keeps the lion's share with itself. So, the bank is  happy and depositors are  happy and it will be a win- win situation for all. But,does it always work this way? Not Necessarily.
