Meta Faces ₹213 Crore Penalty Over WhatsApp Privacy Policy Controversy
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has fined Meta ₹213 crore over WhatsApp's 2021 privacy policy update. The company must stop unfair business practices and make changes, including giving users the option to control their data sharing and stopping the use of user data for advertising. The penalty comes from Meta's misuse of its dominant position in the messaging and advertising markets.
