SC Asks WhatsApp To Assure On Plea Seeking UPI Data Security
In response to a plea, the Supreme Court on February 1 asked WhatsApp to confirm that the latter would abide by the RBI and NCPI guidelines and not share UPI data with third parties. Reportedly, the plea also urged the court to ensure that WhatsApp Pay is not launched in India until it fulfils all legal compliances. The court reminded WhatsApp of the other interlocutory applications regarding data security deferring the hearing after four weeks.
