Will cease to function if forced to break encryption, WhatsApp tells Delhi High Court

New Delhi: Messaging giant WhatsApp told the Delhi High Court on Thursday that it would cease to function if it was compelled to break the encryption of messages. The court was hearing petitions filed by WhatsApp and its parent company Meta challenging Rule 4 of the Information Technology Rules, 2021. The court acknowledged the need for balance in addressing these concerns and adjourned the case to 14 August, when it will be heard along with more than a dozen other cases challenging various parts of the IT Rules that the Supreme Court had transferred to the Delhi High Court on 22 March. Challenges galore The IT Rules, ostensibly meant to ensure accountability on social-media and digital-news platforms, have been challenged in various high courts, including those in Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu for potentially violating privacy rights and encouraging self-censorship.
