CCI slaps ₹213 cr fine on Meta over WhatsApp policy
Mint Mumbai
|November 19, 2024
India's competition watchdog on Monday imposed a ₹213-crore penalty on Meta for abusing its dominant position as the 2021 privacy policy update of its massaging app WhatsApp undermined users' ability to opt out of getting their data shared with the group's social media platform Facebook.
-
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) ordered WhatsApp not to share user data collected on its platform with other Meta companies or products for advertising purposes for five years, according to a statement by the regulator.
CCI considers Meta a dominant player in internet-based messaging through WhatsApp and also in online display advertising.
For purposes other than advertising, WhatsApp's policy should include a detailed explanation of the user data shared with other Meta group companies or products specifying the purpose, CCI said.
The regulator also said that sharing user data collected on WhatsApp with other Meta companies or products for purposes other than providing WhatsApp services should not be a condition for users to access WhatsApp service in India.
Queries emailed to Meta on Monday evening seeking comments remained unanswered at the time of publishing.
