WhatsApp has greatly angered netizens with its new privacy policy update, which says that the messaging giant will share user data with its parent, Facebook when you talk to businesses. The company is facing a legal challenge in India over this privacy policy. The petition filed with the Delhi High Court on Thursday says that the policy update borders on user surveillance and could threaten India’s security.
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you would know that WhatsApp has started showing an in-app pop-up with its privacy policy update. Users need to accept the new terms by 8th February if they wish to continue using the app. The policy update has, however, angered users as WhatsApp is looking to start sharing user data such as IP addresses, location, and more with Facebook.
