The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) said Today (Jan 16) it will decide on January 23 whether to pause a Rs 213.14 crore penalty imposed on Meta by the Competition Commission of India (CCI). The case revolves around WhatsApp’s 2021 privacy policy, which mandated expanded data sharing with Meta, sparking concerns over user autonomy and data privacy. Meta’s lawyers argue that the CCI overstepped its authority, while the CCI insists on the policy’s unfair impact on users.
Meta Platforms Inc. has appealed to the NCLAT against the Rs 213.14 crore penalty imposed by the CCI for abusing its dominant position through WhatsApp’s 2021 privacy policy, which mandated expanded data sharing with Meta. The CCI deemed this a “take-it-or-leave-it” approach, violating user autonomy and competition laws. Meta and WhatsApp were directed to cease unfair practices, restrict data sharing for five years, and provide detailed transparency in their policies. The case, deemed significant for the industry, will be heard on January 16, 2025.
