SC ruling in case involving Whats App and Facebook
The Supreme Court today told social media firm Facebook and its messaging app, WhatsApp, that it will have to intervene to protect people's privacy in the wake of the latter's new policy in this regard. Issuing a notice to the Centre, along with the two platforms, the court is now set examine the popular service's fresh course on this front.
"People have great apprehension over loss of privacy," Chief Justice of India Sharad A Bobde said. "People think that if somebody messages to someone then...the whole thing is disclosed to Facebook."
The Petitioner had said that Whats App was differentiating between Europe and India.
The court will now take upthe case for hearing after four weeks.
