Why WhatsApp is suing India
WhatsApp has filed a legal compliant in Delhi against the Indian government.
WhatsApp says India’s new internet rules that would require it to make people’s messages “traceable” to outside parties is “oppressive”.
Suing India’s government is a highly unusual step by WhatsApp, which has rarely engaged with national governments in court.
Indian Prime Minster Modi has worked for several years to corral the power of tech companies.
