The LIM works in a similar way to NETRA. It is a program for surveillance of Internet traffic in India, allowing the monitoring of all traffic (text and audio) passing through ISPs.
The LIM’s unique capability is to conduct automated keyword searches, which allows government agencies to track data passing through servers for as long as they want, without the ISP’s knowledge.
Reports have pointed out that the legal procedures for such monitoring is seldom followed, resulting in the violation of privacy of the concerned individuals.
