SC issues notice to Meta proposing five-year ad ban on WhatsApp
The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to Meta in relation to a proposed five-year ban on advertisements on WhatsApp, following a recommendation by the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
The SC was hearing appeals filed by WhatsApp and its parent Meta Platforms, challenging the judgment of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), which upheld a penalty of Rs 213.14 crore imposed by the CCI in relation to WhatsApp’s 2021 privacy policy.
