Pakistan Demands Disclosure of Google Agreements

Pakistan's Freedom Network has sent an open letter to Google and the country's government expressing concerns about guarantees for personal data protection under their recent partnership.

The organization welcomed the signing of memorandums and agreements between Google and the Pakistani government, but noted that details of these arrangements have not been disclosed.

Freedom Network asked what exactly Google and the government agreed on, whether all documents will be published, and who would decide on confidentiality of specific provisions. The organization also questioned whether there are undisclosed commitments regarding access to user data, content, metadata, or government databases.
