💨 Abstract

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has fined Meta Platforms (owner of WhatsApp) Rs. 213.14 crore for abusing its dominant position through controversial data collection and sharing practices with other Meta entities. The penalty is in response to WhatsApp's 2021 Privacy Policy update that forced users to share their data with other Meta companies, undermining user autonomy.
