As the Indian far-right in power continues to add the surveillance and plans to silence the opposition, the Facebook-owned messaging service WhatsApp has sued the government amid the new guidelines which the company claims to violate privacy laws.

The new guideline issued by the Government of India will require the messenger service to track the owner of the message saying it will help the government crackdown on "fake news." The government has warned the Social Media Platforms that, failing to comply with the new rules might even ban the platform from the country.

Facebook, which is also one of the funders of the ruling far-right Bharatiya Janata Party, has been seen effectively pro-government on severe occasions including when the government said to ban the criticisms of its coronavirus response or to ban the posts supporting the Farmer's protests.

This time, however, the Facebook-owned messaging service has opposed the government's regulation saying it would oppose its privacy policy. WhatsApp has said it cannot just unmask a single user and that going around its end-to-end encryption will be a violation of user privacy.

WhatsApp also talked about violation of human rights as the company points out that the new rules could lead to innocent people getting jailed just because they shared a particular message out of curiosity or to check its authenticity.

The experts agree with the WhatsApp perspective and oppose the government policy. However, the government which has gone far enough to ban modern medicinal methods just favor one of his donors might not need to listen with the amount of control it has over the judiciary in a single-party democracy.
