The importance of reading editorials of reputed newspapers is not hidden from anybody. What causes obstruction are difficult words which act like speed-breakers<\/strong> forcing you to either refer to a dictionary for its meaning or simply guess it. While getting the meaning from the dictionary is the best way to understand it, sometimes a dictionary is not within your reach. Also, a number of aspirants get confused when they see more than one meaning next to a word in a dictionary<\/strong>. It becomes a difficult process for them to pick the relevant meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We at PracticeMock understand this and that\u2019s why we have come up with a series of Editorials\u2019 Difficult Words<\/strong><\/a> where we shortlist the important editorials of the day and pick the difficult words\/ phrases therein. Next to the word, we put only the contextual sense of the word\/ phrase so that you don\u2019t get confused. Now let\u2019s go through today\u2019s editorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ending encryption: On enforcing traceability (the quality of having an origin or course of development that may be found or followed)<\/strong> on popular messaging apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Enforcing traceability on popular messaging apps will encroach into user privacy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Barely (only just)<\/strong> a day before the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021 came into force, WhatsApp moved the Delhi High Court against the rules \u2014 specifically the one that mandates that a \u201csignificant social media intermediary providing services primarily in the nature of messaging shall enable the identification of the first originator of the information on its computer resource as may be required by a judicial order\u201d. Given the specification that a \u201csignificant social media intermediary\u201d is one with more than 50 lakh registered users, WhatsApp\u2019s messenger service would clearly be affected. WhatsApp\u2019s contention (an opinion expressed in an argument)<\/strong> is that for compliance and traceability, it would have to break its end-to-end encryption service that allows messages to be read only by the sender and the receiver. Its argument is that the encryption feature allows for privacy protections and breaking it would mean a violation of privacy. The question to be asked is whether the traceability guidelines (by breaking encryption) are vital (absolutely necessary or important; essential)<\/strong> to law enforcement in cases of harmful content. A release by the Ministry of Electronics and IT has said that the traceability measure will be used by law enforcement as the \u201clast resort\u201d and will come by only in specific situations, such as \u201cfor the purposes of prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of an offence related to the sovereignty and integrity of India… or child sexual abuse material, punishable with imprisonment….\u201d The assertion suggests that this requirement is in line with the Puttaswamy judgment that clarified that any restriction to the right of privacy must be necessary, proportionate and include safeguards against abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"SBI<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But the Government, as the law stands now, can already seek access to encrypted data under Section 69(3) of the IT Act, and Rules 17 and 13 of the 2009 Surveillance Rules that require intermediaries to assist with decryption when they have the technical ability to do so and when law enforcement has no other alternative. Besides, it can still seek unencrypted data, metadata (a set of data that describes and gives information about other data)<\/strong> and digital trails from intermediaries such as WhatsApp. The trouble with enforcing traceability is that without safeguards such as having any independent or judicial oversight (an unintentional failure to notice or do something)<\/strong>, government agencies could seek any user\u2019s identity on vague (of uncertain, indefinite, or unclear character or meaning)<\/strong> grounds and this could compromise the anonymity (the quality or state of being unknown to most people)<\/strong> of whistle-blowers and journalistic sources, who can claim to be acting in the public interest. WhatsApp\u2019s contention that \u201crequiring messaging apps to \u2018trace\u2019 chats is the equivalent of asking us to keep a fingerprint of every single message sent… and fundamentally undermines right to privacy\u201d is, therefore, not hyperbole (exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally)<\/strong>. If anything, the Government needs to revisit its position on traceability commitments of intermediaries and instead revise the IT Act, 2000 in line with (in alignment or accordance with)<\/strong> existing global best practices besides legislating the long-pending Data Protection Bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
