Clegg, who was UK’s deputy PM from 2010 to 2015, met home minister Amit Shah<\/a>, national security adviser Ajit Doval<\/a>, IT and communications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad<\/a> and commerce minister Piyush Goyal<\/a>.
Clegg told ET that Facebook<\/a> wanted to “provide solutions… not create problems” adding that “data localisation will create balkanisation of the internet<\/a>… and make it unlikely that the next Facebooks and Googles will come from India”. On WhatsApp payment services, he said the company is “waiting for regulatory and central bank nod”.
“Instead of message content, Facebook could possibly help with metadata<\/a>… that is, not the content but who messaged who, when and where and so on,” Clegg told ET.
Encryption Deadlock
In his meeting with Prasad, Clegg offered to track WhatsApp communication activities of persons deemed “dubious or suspicious” by government agencies, officials familiar with the discussions told ET on the condition of anonymity. However, Facebook doesn’t want to do this retrospectively. It will only do this for persons identified by the government from now on. Neither does the company want to break end-to-end encryption, which is at the core of the traceability issue.
Clegg said his discussions with Shah was centered around the question of “how even as we protect end-to-end encryption we want to continue to work with them in sharing different forms of signals in response to legal requests that can be helpful”. With Doval, discussions were along similar lines, he said.
Proposed intermediary guidelines make traceability mandatory for social media companies such as Facebook when content is deemed officially to have created law and order problems. The Supreme Court asked the government on Friday to provide information on the progress with guidelines.
“It will be a great shame if India sets a precedent (on data localisation) that will be copied by other countries,” Clegg told ET.

加密死锁
在会见Prasad,克莱格提供了跟踪WhatsApp沟通活动的人认为“可疑的或可疑的”政府机构、官员熟悉讨论对ET在匿名的条件下说。然而,Facebook不想回顾。它只会做这个人被政府从现在开始。公司想要打破的端到端加密,也没有可追溯性问题的核心。
克莱格说,他与国王的讨论是围绕的问题“即使我们如何保护端到端加密我们想继续与他们分享不同形式的信号以响应法律请求可以是有益的”。Doval,讨论是类似的,他说。
提出中介指导方针让Facebook等社交媒体公司可追溯性强制当内容被认为是正式创建了法律和秩序的问题。最高法院周五要求政府提供指南的进展信息。
