Law of CompetitionFebruary 3, 2025Case LawsAT
NCLAT partially stayed CCI's order against Whatsapp messaging platform operator and its parent company regarding privacy policy violations. The tribunal stayed the five-year ban on sharing user data for advertising purposes, noting it could jeopardize the operator's free service business model. However, other directives concerning data sharing for non-advertising purposes remain enforceable. The operator must comply with remaining privacy safeguards and deposit 50% of the penalty amount (considering 25% already paid) within two weeks. The tribunal acknowledged CCI's jurisdiction for suo moto proceedings, following Supreme Court precedent, while emphasizing that final orders must be evaluated on individual merits.
