Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -FOIA establishes that records of the federal government agencies are accessible to the public. The act had little strength when it was initially passed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The First Amendment restrains only the government. The Supreme Court has interpreted “speech” and “press” broadly as covering not only talking, writing, and printing, but also broadcasting, using the Internet, and other forms of expression.

Detailed explanation-3: -Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the “right to privacy” of individuals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The framers of the Indian constitution considered freedom of the press as an essential part of the freedom of speech and expression as guaranteed in Article 19 (1) (a) of the Constitution.
