On Monday, January 18, 2021, the Delhi High Court gives the
statement that Whatsapp messaging app which is owned by Facebook-owned
messaging is an optional thing. It will totally depend upon the user if they
want to continue with the Whatsapp app or switching the other alternative. The
court continues saying that for many other mobile apps if the terms and
conditions are read, "you would be surprised as to what all you are
consenting to" and "Even Google Maps captures all your data and stores it".
Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva said to the lawyer who once
challenged Whatsapp’s new update that “It’s a private application. Do not join
it. It’s an optional thing. Do not accept it. Use alternative.”
This was earlier in February condemned into activity but
till May now it is postponed.
According to the petitioner, it was stated by the Delhi court that what will be the data that will leak is unknown and this situation
needs attention and should be taken seriously. Due to the shortage of time on
Monday, it will be now listing now January 25, 2021.
The Court decision is also agreed by the central government
that Whatsapp and Facebook need to pay severe attention to this matter. The
senior advocates Kapil Sibal and Mukul Rohatgi respective lawyers of both the
apps told the court that the petition was not appropriate and without any
proper hearing, different issues are arising. In addition to that, they also
told that the messages among family members and friends will not be revealed or
read but the updated policies are for the business chats.
The appeal has taken off that update. Full access into a
user's online activity without there being any supervision by the government is
allowed by Whatsapp’s new update has been claimed in the appeal.
