CCI seeks privacy information, Center says - forces WhatsApp users
Instant messaging app WhatsApp is on the backfoot due to its controversial policy. WhatsApp told the Delhi High Court that it had banned its privacy policy. WhatsApp and Facebook, the company that owns the app, have filed an appeal in the Delhi High Court against the Competition Commission of India's probe.
CCI
seeks privacy information CCI last month issued notices to WhatsApp and Facebook asking them for information about the privacy policy. WhatsApp went to a single judge bench against this, where their appeal was dismissed. The court then said that the policy issue was already going on in the Supreme Court. WhatsApp has since opposed the decision in the Delhi High Court.

"We have filed a petition," advocate Gurukarna Singh said in the case. Harish Salve, senior advocate for WhatsApp, said WhatsApp had told the Delhi High Court on Friday that the new privacy policy was now on voluntary hold. The company said it would not reduce its efficiency until the Data Protection Bill is implemented. This means that the features that users are taking advantage of will remain the same.
