WhatsApp-CCI fracas explained: Why Meta is appealing against a $25.4m fine
WhatsApp has announced plans to appeal the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) recent ruling, which imposed a $25.4 million (approximately Rs 213.14 crore) fine over anti-competitive practices linked to its 2021 privacy policy update. The policy, which required the sharing of user data with other Meta-owned apps for advertising, raised concerns regarding market competition and privacy.
