India’s Supreme Court has taken a significant step by issuing notice to Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, regarding a proposed five-year advertising ban on the messaging app. This action follows recent criticism of WhatsApp’s data-sharing practices outlined in its 2021 privacy policy, with a focus on safeguarding users’ personal data from potential misuse.
The matter is scheduled for further deliberation by the court on April 19. The proposed ban was initially recommended by the Competition Commission of India, the country’s antitrust regulator.
