MeitY Sends Notices to Telegram and Signal Over Username Feature
The IT ministry (MeitY) has issued notices to Telegram and Signal, seeking details on how they address fraud, impersonation, and cybercrime risks linked to username-based messaging. The move follows MeitY directing WhatsApp to pause the rollout of its username feature in India pending consultations. Amid the scrutiny, Zoho cofounder Sridhar Vembu said its messaging app Arattai would disable the username-based account feature to comply. The review signals the government's concern that usernames could make it harder for users to verify who they are speaking to.
