WhatsApp Sues Indian Government to Block Internet Tracing Rules

WhatsApp sued the Indian government to stop what it said were oppressive new Internet rules that would require it to make people’s messages “traceable” to outside parties for the first time. The lawsuit, filed by WhatsApp in the Delhi High Court, seeks to block the enforceability of the rules that were handed down by the government this year.
