The liberalised pricing policy has allowed a multi-track procurement process & a differential vaccine pricing mechanism where vaccines will be supplied by the two Vaccine Manufacturers, @SerumInstIndia as well as @BharatBiotech to the Center, the States & private hospitals.
@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.

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
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
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.
