WhatsApp has filed a legal complaint against the Indian government seeking to block regulations of the new IT rules that come into force today, Reuters reported.The lawsuit asked the Delhi High Court to declare that one of the rules, which come under the the IT Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code Rules 2021, is a violation of privacy rights in India’s constitution as it asks social media companies to identify the “first originator of information” when authorities demand to know. The new rules could thus compel WhatsApp to break privacy protection.WhatsApp said that since messages are end-to-end encrypted, it would have to break encryption for receivers as well as originators of messages, even though the law required it to reveal only the people accused of wrongdoing. On an FAQ page on its website, WhatsApp said that traceability breaks end-to-end encryption and would “undermine the privacy” of people who communicate digitally. This could have a “chilling effect” on what people say and violate universally recognised principles of free expression and human rights, WhatsApp said.The company's complaint cites the Supreme Court's Puttaswamy judgement from 2017, where it upheld privacy as a fundamental right. WhatsApp’s lawsuit was filed as the 90-day period…

Instant messaging platform WhatsApp approached the Delhi High Court Wednesday over the Centre’s new IT regulations, reports claimed.  Citing its sources, Reuters said, “WhatsApp has filed a legal complaint in Delhi against the Indian government seeking to block regulations coming into force on Wednesday that experts say would compel the California-based Facebook (FB.O) unit to break privacy protections.” The Centre’s deadline for digital platforms to accept its latest IT compliance requirements came to an end yesterday. While announcing the new IT rules on February 25, the Centre had said that if “significant social media intermediaries” failed to comply with the new requirements by May 25, they will lose their intermediary status. “Significant social media intermediaries” refers to those digital platforms which have more than 50 lakh registered users. The new IT guidelines require social networking sites and instant messaging platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp to follow additional due diligence, including the appointment of a chief compliance officer, nodal contact person and resident grievance officer.

image copyrightAishwarya MullamuriIndian family WhatsApp groups are often sad places at the moment, as Covid continues to cause thousands of deaths per day in the country. But in families so far untouched by the crisis, edgy jokes and memes are sometimes causing tensions, says BBC gender and identity correspondent Megha Mohan.As my finger hovered over the "exit group" button, it occurred to me that this was the first time I'd seriously contemplated leaving the extended family WhatsApp group. Although I frequently and guiltlessly duck out of groups that outlive their purpose, none of them have ever included anyone I'm related to.Can you try to imagine how noisy a group with active outposts in three continents can be? It's even noisier than you're thinking.Content is shared daily, over different time zones. As the India-based delegation goes to sleep, the American battalion takes over to ensure a steady flow of memes, videos of the nieces and nephews and occasional punditry over global events (elections, say, or celebrity divorces).I'm largely a responder, regularly dispensing heart emojis over photos of the children and pets of the family. I don't usually start a conversation. Until a couple of weeks ago, that is, when I shared…
