WhatsApp: WhatsApp has been going through a very difficult time since the beginning of the year. Due to the new policy, the popularity of this social chatting app is gradually decreasing. Damage control has been started in various ways to handle the situation. WhatsApp has already announced that it will implement the policy in May instead of February. This time a new turn in the incident. The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Wednesday directed an inquiry into WhatsApp's updated policy.
The commission also asked to look into the concerns and confusion among consumers over the updated privacy policy of the Facebook-owned company. The Commission's clear message, all issues related to privacy-policy, its impact on customers, and all the details need to be thoroughly investigated. And submit his report in a timely manner. It is learned that keeping in view the current situation, the country's fair trade regulator has directed this investigation on its own initiative.
A WhatsApp spokesman said WhatsApp authorities were discussing the matter with the CCI. Exactly what changes are taking place in the privacy policy will also be discussed in detail. However, all decisions will be made while maintaining the privacy of the users.
Incidentally, WhatsApp spoke of making multiple changes to the privacy policy based on the new policy formula. In order to use the updated version of the app, everyone has to click on an 'agree and accept' option. Otherwise, this app will become unusable. And according to WhatsApp's updated policy, user information may be shared with other platforms of the company.
In this case, the user's WhatsApp data can also be shared on the owned company Facebook and other apps under it. In addition, the app will be able to track the user's location data at all times. However, the chatting platform claimed that the new policy would further strengthen the service user experience. But people have started to suffer for fear of leaking information. This time all their privacy will be violated.
This time the CCI directed to start an investigation. The message of the commission, each of these issues of WhatsApp will be scrutinized in detail during the investigation. A report must be submitted within 60 days of the completion of the investigation. It will also look at whether any chatting history of WhatsApp is being shared on other platforms. Which way will this investigation go? Waiting for the time being!
