Omar Al Jahni, a renowned lawyer, and legal advisor has warned the people who are working as an admin in different groups on WhatsApp. He said that if any illegal or immoral content is passed by any member of a certain group, the admin of that group will be held responsible for that act.
The administrators of WhatsApp groups should not take it easy if any of the members of their group posts material that is having a dangerous effect on the nation or morals of the public at large.
Social media has an important place in the daily life in this era. WhatsApp is one of the important media that is used by billions of people across the globe. People can chat, make calls and transfer files to other individuals and to groups as well.
Sometimes social media is used negatively and it has a negative impact on society. Sharing of illicit content is one of the major problems of social media.
Sometimes it is also used by criminals and others acting against state and the nation, they share their views on social media and create a disturbance for the general people. It is the responsibility of the whole society to act wisely while using social media and beware of any immoral or illegal activity.
Omar Al Jahni has urged the administrators of WhatsApp groups to feel their responsibility about the honor of the State and peaceful existence of the general public.
He emphasized that if any suspicious material is posted or any talks are seen that are about the security of the state, or any material is posted that shows that some kind of information is leaked about official documents or sensitive information is floated that may harm the security of the nation, the admin of the certain group must report such material to state authorities.
The group administrators can play an important role if they call judicial authorities or security agencies and report a suspicious activity about state’s security, national peace or national economy.
Al Jahni also said that people shall not write about sensitive issues of national security unless they are sure that it is safe to talk on that topic in the WhatsApp group.
