In April 2016, two state governments issued directives seeking to regulate communication on WhatsApp, an internet-based instant messaging application used by more than 70 million people in India, largely on their mobile phones.With increasing internet shutdowns, banning of mobile telephony and arrests for online content, it is not surprising that the government has sought to regulate this mode of communication.Much like shutdowns, these directives pose a severe threat to the freedom of speech enjoyed by users online and are in clear violation of existing legal precedents.
