Meta to challenge CCI’s order on Rs 213 crore fine

Meta on Tuesday said that it disagrees with the Rs 213 crore fine levied on it by the Competition Commission of India for abuse of its dominant position, and will appeal against the order.

The penalty pertains to the controversial implementation of WhatsApp’s 2021 privacy policy, which mandated data sharing between WhatsApp and other Meta firms like Facebook. The same had raised concerns about user privacy and market fairness.
