The court pulled up the BMC and other civic bodies for failing to effectively implement the guidelines for a long time to stop the use of PoP idols and persuade mandals and idol makers to avoid the use of PoP. It suggested the state government come up with a statutory mechanism with deterrent measures including imposing fines in case of violation of guidelines. Noting that the permissions to various mandals have been granted by now, the bench said the mandals shall be informed that they shall mandatorily follow guidelines.

WhatsApp Parent Meta Allowed to Pursue Lawsuit Against NSO Group for Installing Pegasus Malware

Published by Webster

The US Supreme Court on Monday let Meta Platforms’s WhatsApp pursue a lawsuit accusing Israel’s NSO Group of exploiting a bug in the WhatsApp messaging app to install spy software allowing the surveillance of 1,400 people, including journalists, human rights activists and dissidents. The justices turned away NSO‘s appeal of a lower court’s decision that the lawsuit could move forward. NSO had argued that it is immune from being sued because it was acting as an agent for unidentified foreign governments when it installed the Pegasus spyware.
