On Saturday, WhatsApp was abuzz with a news piece claiming that there was a ban on sharing the PDFs of e-papers.

The report claimed that newspapers can take stringent action against those circulating the paper’s PDF on WhatsApp or Telegram.

It went on to add that newspapers would take "stringent action" against those who downloaded PDFs and even jail WhatsApp or Telegraph admins, calling it "newspaper piracy".

It also claimed that that excerpts shouldn’t be shared on social media.
