Whatsapp Privacy Policy
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has directed WhatsApp to withdraw its new privacy policy. Government sources have said that, the IT Ministry feels that due to the privacy policy of WhatsApp, users are at risk of data security. The government has given WhatsApp 7 days and said that if the company does not take any action on this, then the government can hear a final directive.
The ministry has instructed WhatsApp to withdraw its privacy policy as soon as possible. Because if the company does not do this then it is breaking Indian law. Sources have said that, the government can give many options to protect Indian law. The ministry has also strongly raised the issue of WhatsApp’s ‘discriminatory behavior’ with Indian users as compared to users in Europe.
It states that: “As you undoubtedly know, many Indian citizens depend on WhatsApp to communicate in everyday life. Taking advantage of this situation for WhatsApp to impose unfair terms and conditions on Indian users is not only problematic, but also irresponsible, especially those who discriminate against Indian users compared to users in Europe . “
Sources noted that WhatsApp had previously claimed that it had officially postponed its new privacy policy from May 15, 2021 onwards. However, the ministry has said in its communication that even after May 15, WhatsApp is not respecting the data security of Indian users.
Let us know that the privacy policy of WhatsApp has come into effect from May 15. WhatsApp has said that if you do not accept its new privacy policy, then it will not delete your account but will gradually close all the features, in which case you will see the notification of WhatsApp but you will not be able to read it.
