WhatsApp’s refusal to comply with the guidelines is a clear act of defiance: Central government

@the_news_21

Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) slammed WhatsApp for not implementing the new guidelines. “Any operations being run in India are subject to the law of the land. WhatsApp’s refusal to comply with the guidelines is a clear act of defiance of a measure whose intent can certainly not be doubted,” it said.

The government on Wednesday said it respects the right to privacy and the requirement of tracing origin of flagged messages under the new IT rules is for prevention and investigation of “very serious offences” related to the sovereignty of India or public order.
