Whatsapp moves to court against new IT law

New Delhi, 26/5(Ao Bureau)Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp (WhatsApp) has reached the court against the new IT rules of the Government of India. In the new rules, WhatsApp and similar companies will have to keep track of the origin of the message sent on their messaging app, ie from where the message was sent first. The company has filed an application in the Delhi High Court on 25 May against this rule.

 

According to a Reuters report, a WhatsApp spokesperson gave information in this regard, saying, ‘Telling the messaging app to keep a trace of chat in this way would be like keeping an eye on all the messages sent on WhatsApp, which is end-to-end. Will eliminate encryption and violate people’s ‘right to privacy’.
