Sharing Child video in whatsapp
1 month ago
My 8 yrs old son, after using the building lift, intentionally pressed all floor buttons, to make fun of and watch the lift stop every floor, when I agree this is not something, accepted behavior. The community admin took the CCTV footage, instead of sharing it with me intentionally shared it in a public WhatsApp group of the community and threatened to impose a Rs 1000/- fine next time.
As per the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2022, isn't it illegal? what steps should I take? My son felt bad, though I am trying make him understand his wrong doing.
A.Dear Client,
In the given scenario, before sharing the CCTV footage in WhatsApp group of the community, the Community Admin should share the same with the guardian of the child with a warning of imposing of fine on the occurrence of such type unacceptable behaviour of the child. Any legal action against the admin may worsen the situation, especially in a community living. Instead, you may take up the matter personally with the Admin, if required.

A.Dear client, According to sec 9 of digital personal data protection act, 2023, one cannot post any video/picture of a child i.e who is below 18 years, on internet without the consent of the parents/guardians. Under sec 9 if anything posted on the internet can cause detrimental effect in behaviour or well-being of child can lead to liability on the person posted.
