The present research work on the topic of “Liabilities of intermediaries in cyberspace” is both explorative and analytical. It sought to construct, throughout the analysis of secondary data. The documents of government policy, financial data, and financial static provided by international authorities are analyzed and try to find out the changes and loopholes in it. Online intermediaries are entities that facilitate all of the transactions that take place on the internet. The extent of the data that flows through such intermediaries on a daily basis presents several privacy concerns, which are the subject of this Report. In my research work I am going to discuss about the data privacy laws. Obligation imposed on intermediaries while handling the data, as India has adopted the conditional “safe harbor” approach in 2008 by amending the Information Technology Act 2000 to modify the safe harbor provision contained in Section 79. I will be highlighting some leading case laws relating to data protection laws in India and also how the legislature must specify the extent to which the privacy principles will apply to data held by the Government, as well as put in place adequate checks and balances to reign in the Government’s ability to intercept or modulate content hosted by intermediaries.
