India tribunal lifts WhatsApp data-sharing ban, upholds Meta fine
An Indian appeals tribunal lifted a five-year ban on WhatsApp sharing user data with Meta entities, a partial win for the company. The tribunal found the rationale for the ban lacking but upheld a $25.4 million fine for Meta's abuse of dominance. This ruling follows ongoing scrutiny of WhatsApp's privacy policy, impacting its operations in India, the company's largest market.
