Quote Industry sources, however, said that as per the guideline of the IT Rules, no messaging platform can be out of the purview of compliance. “This is not just about Apple. If you see clause (v) and (w), the moment you say that a company primarily or solely enables online interaction between two or more users and allows them to create, upload, share, disseminate, modify or access information using its services, there is no way a messaging platform is out of it. Whether it comes coupled with a device or not, the fact is that iMessage is seen as a messaging service across the world,” a senior industry executive said, asking not to be named.
