Is WhatsApp going to get banned in India? Understand how is it fighting against the IT Rules to not compromise on its end-to-end encryption.
WhatsApp threatens to shut down its services in India if it is forced to compromise its end-to-end encryption. The messaging giant and Meta filed a plea at the Delhi High Court challenging India’s 2021 IT rules for social media intermediaries. Their primary concern is the requirement to identify the initial source of information and share it with the government.and Indian courts have had multiple conflicts in the past, the messaging giant has taken a tough stance this time.
The IT Rules 2021 orders social media platforms to appoint key compliance offers and publish monthly compliance reports. The IT rules also demand that these platforms identify the first originator of messages. This is where WhatsApp disagrees. Media files and messages sent over WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted. This means only the sender and receiver can see them, not even WhatsApp. This end-to-end encryption would be compromised if they had to trace the first originator, and WhatsApp doesn’t want it.
Access to this data would make it easy for authorities to address harmful content and take strict against the first originator, but it also sparks debate over users’ privacy.There is no such role anywhere else in the world. Not even in Brazil. We will have to keep a complete chain and we don’t know which messages will be asked to be decrypted.
