Right to privacy is a fundamental right in India as ruled by the Supreme court in 2017.
Why I am stating this here is because there is a plethora of private chats sourced and leaked in media with blatant disregard to privacy of the people involved. Whether the parties involved are guilty or not is what I want to discuss.
Can't anyone be held accountable for these privacy breaches. Isn't WhatsApp accountable?
What about those media people blatantly displaying it on TV screens.
Can this be allowed and tolerated in any civilized society. Whether criminal or not, whether druggie or not people are entitled to have their privacy. Isnt it absolutely shameful and illegal to leak private chats like this regardless of their content?
