Amid ongoing debate and criticism over WhatsApp’s new private policy, a petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court on Thursday demanding immediate suspension of its implementation, while on the other hand, the company has also consistently clarified the matter is going.
WhatsApp’s new private policy has been challenged in the Delhi High Court. A petition has been filed in the High Court that under the new policy of WhatsApp, the company has the right to see virtually any activity of any person. The petition has demanded from the court that the new private policy should be stopped with immediate effect.

It has also been said in the petition filed in the court that it is a violation of the right to privacy of any person. This petition has been filed by advocate Chaitanya Rohilla, which states that companies like WhatsApp and Facebook are already illegally sharing the data of common people to the third party. In such a situation, a new private policy of WhatsApp has been made without taking permission from the government.
In this petition, the court has demanded that the new private policy of WhatsApp should be stopped with immediate effect and with it the Government of India should issue guidelines keeping in mind the use of WhatsApp and the right to privacy of the people. The petition states that using the powers found under section 79 (2) (C) and section 87 (2) (ZG) of the Information Technology Act of the Government of India, ensure that WhatsApp allows any third party to use the users Unable to share data.

WhatsApp has changed its privacy policy on 4 January. After this change, it is necessary for the users using WhatsApp to accept all its terms and conditions. Under this, WhatsApp has now made it mandatory that the user who does not accept the terms and conditions, his account will be closed after February 8.

The petition also states that the recently updated privacy policy of WhatsApp has not been implemented in Europe as there is already a data protection law under which sharing of users’ data is a punishable offense.

Taking advantage of the loophole rules in India, the privacy policy that has been brought for WhatsApp users is very dangerous for the whole country. Therefore, there is a need to stop him with immediate effect. The number of users who use WhatsApp worldwide is 2 billion, out of which 40 crore people use it in India alone.
On the other hand, WhatsApp is facing criticism after the change in privacy policy. The company also has to give clarification in this regard. The company said in its clarification that the new policy will not affect the privacy of ordinary users. However, it will make more difference to business account users.

WhatsApp has answered many questions to remove the doubts in the minds of people about the new policy. Also, the company says that your sensitive data is not shared with Facebook. Also, the new policy update does not affect the privacy of your messages with friends or family in any way.
Under WhatsApp’s new policy on business accounts, if you do not use WhatsApp business, but if you message a merchant’s WhatsApp business account to purchase a product, then you have an eye on WhatsApp.

On its FAQ page, WhatsApp says that every day millions of people from all over the world talk to their customers on WhatsApp.

According to WhatsApp, business chatting is very different from chatting with friends or family. Some big businesses need hosting services to manage their communication.
