Govt: WhatsApp Treating Indian Users Different From European

The Central government told the Delhi High court that WhatsApp is managing Indian and European users' accounts heterogeneously when it comes to privacy. While the privacy policy offered by Whatsapp to European users specifically prohibits the use of any information shared with Facebook, the clause is not offered to Indians. Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma cited that WhatsApp appears to be treating Indian users with an "all or nothing approach".
