However, WhatsApp has said that the messages sent on its platform are completely confidential and WhatsApp or Facebook cannot see private messages sent from its platform.
Prasad said, "My department is working on this issue, and being the deciding authority, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on it." But, I would like to say one thing very clearly. Be it WhatsApp, Facebook, or any digital platform ... you are free to do business in India, but do so without infringing on the rights of Indians working here. " Need to be maintained.
