The Supreme Court, while hearing a plea challenging last month’s change in WhatsApp’s privacy policy, sent a notice to the company seeking their response. A bench headed by Chief Justice SA Boelder said during the hearing that the privacy of the people must be protected in view of allegations that users’ data should be shared with other companies. The bench said citizens are likely to end their privacy and people feel that their chats and data are being shared with others. The court said that we are concerned that ‘WhatsApp reveals the circuit of messages’. The court told Facebook and WhatsApp lawyers, “You’ll be two or three trillion companies, but people love your privacy more than money. It is our duty to protect it. “ The Chief Justice told him, “We are telling you what we have heard and read. People think that if A sent a message to B and B sent the message to C, Facebook is aware of this whole circuit of messages”. |
