WhatsApp must have grievance officer in India: Ravi Shankar Prasad

Indian IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad met Whatsapp CEO Chris Daniels in New Delhi today. Daniels is in India this week even as WhatsApp is trying to address concerns around fake news on its messaging platform which have been accused of leading to horrific crimes like mob-lynching. Daniels is likely to be in India for 4-5 days. Prasad said that he discussed three main points with the WhatsApp CEO including having a grievance officer in India, complying with Indian laws and the need for a proper corporate entity in India.
