Save, everything may not be completely private on WhatsApp!
End-to-end encryption of messages in WhatsApp , Telegram , Signal etc. has become a headache for governments of various countries. The companies providing such services say that the users cannot even read the messages themselves, citing the privacy of the user's data. But this makes it difficult for investigative bodies to get to the root of illegal content when it is spread on such services.
In India, due to this, there is a continuous attempt to create new legal provisions to regulate social media. According to the recently revealed details, when Meta Company's policy chief visited India recently, he was told by the Indian government that the company has to create a system to get to the root of the content exchange taking place in WhatsApp. This means that if any content that is objectionable or violates laws goes viral on WhatsApp and comes to the attention of the police, WhatsApp will have to tell the police who shared the message first.
It is believed that the government of India has given a very clear wording to the company that the company can approach the court as many times as it wants but the government is very adamant about tracing the origin of the messages.
