During this time, the NCLAT allowed WhatsApp to share user data with the parent company, Meta Platforms, which is also the parent of Facebook and Instagram, during the pendency of appeals. This decision came at the cost of a November 2024 Competition Commission of India, where Meta ₹213.14 crore was fined for abusing its dominant position through an update made by WhatsApp relating to its 2021 privacy policy and the transferring of data was prohibited with hands for a period of five years. This decision raises grave privacy issues as user information may be abused for targeted ads with more than 500 million users in India. The story delves into privacy concerns, bribery allegations, and the Indian need for solid data protection acts.
