COAI to DoT: Full blocking of mobile apps to harm users' constitutional rights; hurt biz interests
Industry body COAI has cautioned against blocking of mobile apps, saying it would not only impinge on freedom of speech and expression of users, but also hit routine day-to-day communications, commercial activity, and business interests
Cellular Operators' Association of India (COAI) has cited technical constraints, flagged risks of over-blocking, and cautioned that blocking must be targeted "only at content or account level" to "minimise impact on innocent users". Image source: Reuters
