\tThe competition watchdog of India initiated a probe into a controversial privacy policy update planned by WhatsApp, arguing the Facebook subsidiary violated local legislation.<\/p>\n

In an order issued today (24 March), the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said its investigation will look to \u201cascertain the full extent, scope and impact of data sharing through involuntary consent\u201d of users resulting from the update.<\/p>\n

The authority claimed WhatsApp contravened domestic laws through \u201cexploitative and exclusionary conduct\u201d contained in a policy update.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the CCI claimed WhatsApp\u2019s update would generate competition risks through potential quality reduction and ability for Facebook to \u201creinforce\u201d its position, even in unrelated markets such as display advertising.<\/p>\n

The move is India\u2019s second against the planned update, following a move by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology pressing WhatsApp to drop the plan and reconsider its data privacy policies.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp initially planned to implement its updated policy in early February but delayed [1] the move following a backlash. The company blamed this on \u201cmisinformation\u201d around the planned changes, which it explained involve interaction with businesses on the platform rather than a wholesale change in data collection.<\/p>\n
