NEW DELHI: The Facebook-owned instant messenger, WhatsApp in the Delhi High Court has challenged the new IT rule over traceability of messages and termed it unconstitutional, as it breaches basic privacy of citizens. However in September 2019, the Supreme Court had said it was imperative that there is a regime to find out originators of messages, and it may be necessary to get such information from the intermediaries.
Breaking its silence on the new digital rules in the middle of a clash with the Narendra Modi government over the "Congress toolkit row" Twitter on Thursday expressed concern over "the potential threat to freedom of expression and intimidation tactics by the police".
