Unable to move ahead in probe against WhatsApp, Facebook: CCI to court

Competition Commission of India (CCI) Thursday told the Delhi High Court that it was not able “move an inch” in its investigation into WhatsApp’s privacy policy of 2021.

This is on account of a court order granting time to Facebook and the instant messaging platform for filing replies in connection with the probe. CCI told a bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma that there was “virtually a stay” on the proceedings and the anti-trust regulator must be allowed to carry out its investigation.
