SC refuses to entertain CAIT plea challenging WhatsApp’s privacy policy

Supreme Court refuses to entertain a plea filed by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) challenging WhatsApp’s latest privacy policy which was introduced last month in India.

A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India granted liberty to approach the Delhi High Court.

The popular instant messaging platform recently kicked off a storm when it informed users it was preparing a new privacy policy, under which it could share limited user data, including phone number and location, with Facebook and its group firms, with no option to opt-out.
