CCI Argues for User Data Choice in WhatsApp Case

CCI Argues for User Data Choice in WhatsApp Case

Imagine WhatsApp wants to know everything about you, like your medical history.

The CCI, a watchdog, says WhatsApp can't do that!

They believe you should control what data you share with apps.

WhatsApp is being investigated because of its privacy rules.

The CCI argues you should be able to change your mind about sharing data, even after you've agreed.

Meta, which owns WhatsApp, was fined for this.

The NCLAT is deciding if the fine is fair.

If WhatsApp were to close, it could potentially lose a lot of money.
