WhatsApp sues Indian govt, says new IT rules will end privacy

By Administrator_India Capital Sands WhatsApp has filed a legal complaint against the Indian government in New Delhi seeking to block new IT regulations coming into force on Wednesday that experts say would compel the California-based Facebook unit to break privacy protections, sources said. According to the lawsuit WhatsApp has pleaded Delhi High Court to declare that one of the new rules is a violation of privacy rights in India's constitution since it requires social media companies to identify the "first originator of information" when authorities demand it. While the law requires WhatsApp to unmask only people credibly accused of wrongdoing, the company says it cannot do that alone in practice. Because messages are end-to-end encrypted, to comply with the law WhatsApp sa...

Oil prices rise as storm forms in Gulf, doubts emerge on Iran deal

By Administrator_India Capital Sands Oil prices rose on Monday as a storm formed in the Gulf of Mexico and Iran said a three-month nuclear monitoring deal had expired, raising doubts about the future of indirect talks that could end U.S. sanctions on Iranian crude exports.

Toothpaste firm’s numbers show India Inc profits won’t survive costs, Covid

By Administrator_India Capital Sands Lately, India has had very little to smile about. Something that Colgate-Palmolive Co.’s tepid growth in the world’s pandemic epicenter amply demonstrates. The toothpaste maker’s results this week offer a fresh look at a puzzle: the Indian stock market’s apparent disregard for the country’s worst humanitarian disaster in almost 75 years. Scientists are forecasting 1.2 million deaths by end-August, hospitals are running out of beds and oxygen, and bodies are being dumped in the Ganges river, yet the Nifty 50 index is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 31. Even after softening somewhat since February, valuations are still rich. In the Asia-Pacific region, only Australia, New Zealand and Singapore are more expensive. Colgate offers some sh...

Bitcoin struggles for footing on worries over China, leverage

By Administrator_India Capital Sands Bitcoin and other digital assets languished in Asia on Thursday, recovering marginally from four-month lows but weighed down by concerns over tighter regulation in China and unease over massive leveraged positions in the cryptocurrency world. Bitcoin, the biggest and most popular cryptocurrency, rose slightly to $38,072 after plunging 14% on Wednesday to its lowest since late January. Smaller rival ether fell more than 3% on Thursday to $2,368, extending a 28% tumble on Wednesday. Wednesday's declines in both digital assets were their biggest daily percentage moves in more than a year as investors rushed to exit trades that until recently were heartily outperforming traditional markets such as stocks and bonds. The latest catalyst was ...
