The WhatsApp, chat-communication platform, has nearly 400 million users in India. A new law released in 2021 for social media says that messaging app like WhatsApp must trace the origin of a message and identify people who send messages. People do not like the idea their identity is revealed. WhatsApp says that it cannot identify the person sending messages. WhatsApp has sued the government because the new rules violated the right to privacy of Indian users.
