‘Those who don’t comply with WhatsApp’s policies will be removed,’ Facebook has directly challenged the Indian govt

Facebook-owned WhatsApp on May 15 rolled out its dictatorial privacy policy and announced that those not complying with a ‘yes’ to the policy change will slowly be kicked out of the platform. WhatsApp on Monday told the High Court through its lawyer Kapil Sibal that it is trying to get users on board but in case they don’t agree, their accounts will slowly be deleted.

“We have asked users to agree to the policy. If they don’t agree we will delete them… there is no deferment of policy,” Sibal told the court. Meanwhile, the HC adjourned the matter till June 3 even as Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Chetan Sharma and petitioners sought status quo. The ASG urged the court to record the statement of WhatsApp’s counsel that the company will conform with the Indian law and maintain the status quo where neither the account nor the data is deleted if they revoke their permission/consent for the new privacy policy.

The policy change was first introduced in January, early this year but after facing severe backlash, WhatsApp had to extend the deadline. However, the company is adamant that May 15 was the final deadline for the rollout of the policy.

Initially, those not accepting the policy will start to see more pop-ups in WhatsApp outlining the changes with a big green ‘Accept’ button at the bottom. If the user taps on it, WhatsApp will continue to share certain account data of yours with Facebook.

If you’d rather not agree, you’ll at first be able to hit a back arrow in the upper left corner of the overlay. Over time, though, the pop-ups will appear more frequently. Eventually, you won’t be able to click away at all, and the app’s functionality will start to degrade.

As reported previously by TFI, WhatsApp’s updated user policy gives Mark Zuckerberg the right to share user’s information with Facebook and other third-party apps. Since the time Zuckerberg bought WhatsApp in 2014, constant attempts have been made to integrate it with the Facebook platform. With 340 million users, India is, by far, the largest market for the messaging platform.

While most users will still ignore this stipulation, it is pertinent to note that status, group names, icons, frequency and duration of activities, location, device model, operating system, battery level, browser details and whether a user is online, all will be collected by the app.

What is more concerning is that the fact that even the data from the new payment feature, including processing method, transactions and shipment data will be collected. Surely the collection of this amount of unauthorised information infringes the right to privacy of an individual, but it seems that Zuckerberg is indifferent.

While the Indian users have been granted no choice of opting out of the WhatsApp privacy policy, its users in Europe can opt-out of the new privacy policy owing to the laws in the EU called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which shield them from sharing data from Facebook or grant them the power to say no to WhatsApp’s new terms of service.

The Personal Data Protection Bill (PDP) which has been sent to a Joint Committee of Parliament (JCP) headed by MP Meenakshi Lekhi for more revision needs to be urgently brought in the parliament and passed so that tech giants like Facebook can be kept in check. If PDP was implemented in the country, WhatsApp will not have been able to stand its ground and shove the policy down the throats of Indians.
