Will shut down in India if told to break encryption: WhatsApp to Delhi HC
WhatsApp informed the Delhi High Court that it would effectively cease operations in India if compelled to compromise message encryption.
The Meta-owned company emphasized that end-to-end encryption safeguards user privacy by limiting access to message content solely to the sender and recipient.
Tejas Karia, representing WhatsApp, conveyed to the Division Bench that if instructed to undermine encryption, WhatsApp would cease functioning.
