Supreme Court seeks response from Centre on PIL seeking ban on Zoom app

The Supreme Court on Friday sought response from the Centre on a PIL seeking a ban on the Zoom app for both government and private use until an appropriate legislation is framed, citing privacy and security concerns.
A bench led by Chief Justice SA Bobde issued notice to the government on the PIL filed by Harsh Chugh, who alleged that even the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) — India’s nodal cyber security agency — had warned about cyber risks involved in using Zoom and many organisations across the world had already banned it for breaching cyber security.
