Dear Sir,
As per the THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACT, 2000
Sec2(b) "addressee" means a person who is intended by the originator to receive the electronic record but does not include any intermediary;

Can u give understandable meaning of the word intermediary?

The information technology players like Facebook, Whats App, some websites, the web administrator of computer systems etc are the intermediaries when they act in between a sender and a recipient of electronic information.

It is an endless list of persons and firms who perform in between a sender and a recipient of any electronic record.
