The Collection without Permission: Whatsapp's Data Sharing Policy

handle is hein.journals/supami2 and id is 148 raw text is: SUPREMO AMICUS VOLUME 21 ISSUE 1 1 ISSN: 2456-9704 The Constitution of India does not prescribe any educational qualifications to either vote or contest for the elections to the Union Parliament or the State Legislatures. The reason was that the founding fathers wanted to ensure that no citizen is deprived of his constitutional right to vote or to contest election. Moreover it was not feasible considering the status of the country back then set such conditions. However we have come a long way since that day and the literacy rate had increased especially in urban and industrial areas. Therefore, the authors feel that any educational qualification if needed to be set as eligibility to contest elections should be implemented in the top down order rather than bottom top. The institutions such as the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha and the State Legislative Assemblies have more important decisions to make and have a much wider ambit and responsibility than the Gram Panchayats. Therefore it can now be reasonably expected that the people aspiring to contest for such coveted positions meet the criteria of having a reasonable educational qualification as may be deemed fit for that purpose. Because law making in areas like defence, nuclear and atomic energy, foreign affairs and even agriculture and animal husbandry require that the law makers are at least capable of appreciating the nuances involved and the reasons behind the policy formations. Once that objective is achieved, even the village Panchayats depending upon the progress made to facilitate compulsory education, may be bound bysuch criteria. Until then, the Panchayats should be subjected to minimum restrictions so that they can facilitate the growth of the villages obstructions. without any THE COLLECTION WITHOUT PERMISSION Whatsapp's data sharing policy By: DeekshaBajpai From: New Law College ,BharatiVidyapeeth, Pune, Maharashtra ABSTRACT In this research paper we will widely focus on the current perspective over the recent issue of the Whatsapp's data sharing policy with facebook.The recent acquisition of ,Whatsapp by Facebook has allowed Facebook to access Whatsapp's user data and user base.
