The Delhi High Court (HC) has a straightforward view on the new policies of WhatsApp. A petition was filed at the HC for issuing notices to both Facebook and WhatsApp. The petition was against the recent changes brought to the terms and conditions of WhatsApp’s usage by Facebook. However, the Delhi HC didn’t issue any notice to the concerned companies. HC said it will carry a detailed hearing on the matter on January 25, 2021, for now, it has refused to issue a notice to WhatsApp and Facebook — more details on the story ahead.

HC Says Don’t Use the App if You Don’t Like New Policies
In the hearing, Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva said that if users don’t like the new terms and conditions of WhatsApp, they can stop using it. Since WhatsApp is a private app, the users have the option to delete it if they don’t want their data to be shared with Facebook.
For the unaware, as per the recent changes brought to the terms and conditions of the WhatsApp’s usage; a plethora of user’s data from WhatsApp would be shared with Facebook to help the parent company improve ad experience for the consumer across its suite of products.
Justice Sachdeva said that if people are not conformable sharing that data with Facebook, they can stop using the application. The HC observed that it is not just WhatsApp and Facebook, but several other apps that do the same thing with user’s data.
