He also established Akshara Prakashana, a publishing house, to publish literature in Kannada related to theatre, which included translations of plays from other languages. His son K. V.

gollark: It's not just the collection of data, it's the correlation/linking of it between many companies/websites/whatever.
gollark: - Price discrimination- Some people just directly dislike the data gathering as a privacy violation- In some cases: can be used by governments to stamp out dissent, etc- Data can often be leaked so random people have access to it too
gollark: It should also not collect other random data.
gollark: It was detected because they *also* run them with internet access, making it an obvious data leak vector.
