The Supreme Court (SC) has refused to entertain Confederation of All India Traders’ (CAIT) plea seeking direction to WhatsApp to roll back its new privacy policy on grounds of being allegedly violative of laws and country’s security.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India, Justice Sharad Arvind Bobde granted liberty to approach the Delhi High Court (HC). According to the bench, this issue is already being heard by the Delhi HC.
The plea had sought a direction to prohibit WhatsApp, Facebook and Facebook India from sharing the details and data of subscribers and users.
