The Delhi High Court on Thursday adjourned the hearing of a bunch of petitions challenging WhatsApp’s new privacy policy for August 27.
The Bench of Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh on Thursday found no urgency in the matter and deferred the hearing for the next date, ANI reported.
Earlier, the platform had told the Delhi High Court that it will not limit functionality for some time and continue to show users the updates from time to time until the Indian parliament brought in a law regarding personal data protection.
WhatsApp further submitted that it has voluntarily agreed to put on hold the update.
The court was hearing a bunch of petitions and sought the issuance of direction to India’s federal government to direct WhatsApp Inc. to either roll back the policy or provide an option to users of their platform to opt-out of the privacy policy and also to provide the users, who have accepted the privacy policy, another option to choose for themselves.
