WhatsApp submits reply on ‘username’ notice; Centre examining response
New Delhi: Meta-owned WhatsApp has submitted its reply to the government’s notice on the “username” feature and the response is being examined, sources said on Thursday.
The Centre issued a notice to Meta last Wednesday, questioning the proposed username feature on WhatsApp, flagging concerns that it could materially increase incidents of online fraud, phishing, digital-arrest scams and impersonation attacks.
