The Competition Commission of India (CCI) Monday told the Delhi High Court that WhatsApp’s updated privacy policy of 2021 has not been withdrawn and its probe concerning the policy should be allowed to proceed.
The CCI also said the scope of its inquiry has no overlap with the issue of an alleged infringement of user privacy pending before the Supreme Court.
The submissions were made by CCI before a bench headed by high court Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma on appeals by WhatsApp LLC and Facebook Inc against a single-judge order dismissing their challenge to the probe ordered by the CCI into the instant messaging platform’s updated privacy policy.
The bench, also comprising Justice Subramonium Prasad, reserved its order on the appeals after hearing the concerned parties, PTI has reported from New Delhi.
In January last year, CCI on its own had decided to look into WhatsApp’s updated privacy policy based on news reports regarding the same.
WhatsApp and Facebook had subsequently challenged before the single judge CCI’s March 2021 order directing a probe against them, saying that the issue concerning its new policy was already pending consideration before the high court and the Supreme Court.
