The new IT rules about social media definitely enhance the cyber security, powerful investigation, and mitigate cyber crimes as it creates a threat in the mind of wrongdoers. WhatsApp is suing the Indian government over a ‘traceability’ clause in the new Intermediary Rules 2021 and arguing that these rules are unconstitutional and directly violates the fundamental rights of the users (Art. 21). But as we all know that the right to privacy (discussed in Art. 21) will come with reasonable restrictions, adding that social media companies will only have to give the originator of a message in select cases and based on an order from a competent court. Also, tracing the first originator is only under special or limited circumstances and not for all the WhatsApp users. According to me, these guidelines are only for the purposes of prevention, investigation, regulation, punishment etc. of the offences relating to sovereignty, dignity, integrity and security of the nation and against the offences related to rape, sexually explicit material or child sexual abuse material which are punishable with imprisonment for not less than five years or fine or with both.”
