Centre says privacy is a right but national security is our job

<p>WhatsApp has sought legal action in a New Delhi court against the Indian govt for the mandate of tracking the creator of a message. WhatsApp said that to track the first originator of a message it will have to break its E2E encryption which will compromise users&#39; privacy. Indian govt said they intend to uphold users&rsquo; right to privacy but maintaining law and order to ensure national security is its job. Govt ensured that the new rules will in no way affect the common users.</p>
