Cyber Security (UPSC): Government Puts WhatsApp Username Feature on Hold

వాట్సాప్ యూజర్‌నేమ్ ఫీచర్‌పై కేంద్రం బ్రేకులు.. సైబర్ సెక్యూరిటీ వర్సెస్ డిజిటల్ ప్రైవసీ & DPDP యాక్ట్ 2023 పూర్తి విశ్లేషణ | This comprehensive lecture analyzes the Union Government's decisive move putting WhatsApp’s proposed unique username feature on hold due to severe cybersecurity concerns, curated specifically for UPSC Civil Services Examination (Prelims & Mains) preparation.

Using this high-stakes digital platform showdown, we break down core internal security, public safety, and tech governance concepts under Cyber Security and Statutory Acts (GS Papers 2 & 3). We dissect the structural policy dilemma of balancing individual data protection under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 against the surging threat landscape of identity theft, phishing, and sophisticated digital arrest scams. We evaluate the enforcement parameters of the IT Intermediary Guidelines Rules, 2021, examining the due diligence mandates placed upon tech giants like Meta. Finally, we map the systemic vulnerabilities of numberless communication channels, assess WhatsApp's automated abuse detection safeguards, and review the Department of Telecommunications' (DoT) evolving regulatory oversight on active SIM verification.
