Update on IFF's Zombie Tracker

TL;DR

IFF, in collaboration with CivicDataLab, is building a “Zombie Tracker” to track cases under S. 66A, Information Technology Act, at the district level. S.66A of the IT Act is termed as a legal zombie since, even though it was declared unconstitutional in 2015, its use is ongoing. Currently, we have mined, curated and verified our dataset. Moving forward, we are working on building the tracker interface as well as conducting secondary research. We intend to use the insights gained from collected data to strengthen our advocacy efforts to ensure that S. 66A dies a complete constitutional death.
