But this is a mere eyewash because-
1.This has been left to the discretion of the respective state/ UT governments
2.This shall be implemented only if vaccine has been left unutilised from online registrations and that too at Government CVCs. #VaccineFor18Plus#VaccineForAll
@WhatsApp has challenged the traceability provision in the Delhi High Court stating it is unconstitutional and against the fundamental Right to #Privacy as enshrined in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy vs UOI (2017).
In order to follow the traceability provision i.e. Rule 4(2), WhatsApp would have to break end-to-end encryption for its users thereby undermining privacy of messages to its users.
You can read about the provision here: sflc.in/what-originato….
SFLC.in has been assisting FOSS developer Praveen A in challenging IL Rules,2021 including the traceability provision.
#Twitter & #Facebook are not getting #banned but If these significant social media intermediaries don't comply with the #ITRules they could however lose the safe harbor protection which means they could incur liability (civil & criminal) for the acts done by third party users.
The #informationtechnology Rules, 2021 (#ILRules) which have been prescribed by the #Centralgovt under Section 79 of the IT Act are a set of compliances which the intermediaries have to abide by, in order to keep the safe harbor protection intact. #SocialMediaban#internet
The matter challenging the Liberalised Vaccination Policy by the GoI by Dr. K.P Aravindam & Dr. Praveen G Pai is listed for hearing in the #KeralaHC today. sflc.in/sflcin-assists…
The Court noted that the @IndianExpress had reported on Saturday, that the RBI has given Rs. 99000 crore to Central Government. The Court inquired why a part of this amount cannot be used to vaccinate people.
We are pleased to inform you all that subsequent to the legal notice sent to @TwitterIndia informing that @fsmi_in had not violated @Twitter's rules or Indian law by sharing @IndianCERT's letter, Twitter has restored FSMI’s access to their Twitter account. newsclick.in/twitter-locks-…
Twitter had stated that FSMI had violated #TwitterRules specifically about posting #PrivateInformation of others without their express authorization and permission.
At a time when the entire country is grappling with #COVID-19, mandatory #CoWin registration by @AyushmanNHA will lead to exclusion of citizens from 18-44 years from vaccination who do not use smartphones or do not have an internet connection. @rssharma3@MoHFW_INDIA
Not every citizen has digital literacy to be able to register online for vaccination via CoWIN's website or mobile application.
As @prateekwaghre pointed out that as of December, 2020, there are only 58 internet subscribers out of 100 people in India. This would further push people from getting #vaccination. @drharshvardhan
