WhatsApp Privacy: Don't fall for false info, check terms and Rethink

New Delhi: The present-day information-technology era should not just say that today it is in the most advanced stage. But that it is a much bigger reason to say that today information technology is controlling human life. Newer technologies previously facilitated the transmission of information and accelerated its speed.

The natural consequence of information becoming central in human life in this way was that its governing powers would also become important accordingly. Hence, it is no wonder that today these powers have controlled the decisive part of human life.

This process of control carried out in two broad ways - one is by arbitrarily influencing its expression by establishing a monopoly on information, and the other is a matter of privacy which is in crisis today.
