Various cases are being heard by the high courts of Madras, Bombay and Madhya Pradesh and Orissa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There is a conflict between privacy and how the government should run the country when crimes are committed. There has to be a balance&#8230; under what condition information can be given and to whom,&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Facebook and WhatsApp, asking that all petitions be transferred to the top court, said it was a matter of high magnitude and affected the privacy of the entire nation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Monday, the Tamil Nadu government had told the Supreme Court that social media profiles of users need to be linked with Aadhaar numbers to check the circulation of fake, defamatory and pornographic content as also anti-national and terror material. However,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em> Facebook Inc resisted the state&#8217;s suggestion on grounds that the sharing of the 12-digit Aadhaar number, the biometric unique identity, would violate privacy policy of users.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Facebook Inc said it cannot share the Aadhaar number with a third party as the content on its instant messaging WhatsApp was end-to-end encrypted and no one can access it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Tamil Nadu government, which is deep into a case related to the deadly Blue Whale game, argued that the centre was struggling to find out who the creator of the game was and who gives directions. Attorney General KK Venugopal, representing Tamil Nadu, said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Someone says he is a young person from Russia. A number of people have died in India playing the Blue Whale. Let the Madras High Court continue with its hearing,&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Supreme Court said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We are aware of Blue Whale. What is happening in dark web is worse than Blue Whale. The idea of the Madras High court expanding the issue was that if need be, shouldn&#8217;t the intermediary inform the police about details of person for crime detection? We are not examining the merits of the case, only dealing with the transfer of the cases to the Supreme Court.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>(Source:
