Meta (formerly Facebook) moved the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) challenging the ₹21314 crore penalty imposed by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) for alleged violations related to WhatsApp’s privacy policy. The CCI had found that WhatsApp’s privacy practices, including its policy changes, were unfair to users, violating competition laws. Meta contested the penalty, arguing that the fine was disproportionate and that its actions were in line with business practices. The case highlights growing concerns about privacy and market dominance in the tech industry, with regulators scrutinizing business models of major digital platforms.
