“We firmly believe in protecting the privacy of our users. We cannot see people's personal messages as they are protected by end-to-end encryption. We are updating our terms to provide users with more transparency about their choices to interact with businesses, if they require. Our users are at the heart of everything we do and we're focused on making sure our conviction on protecting people's privacy is clear," a WhatsApp spokesperson said in its statement to the media.
As per a report by news agency PTI, Justice Navin Chawla said that though it would have been "prudent" for the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to await the outcome of petitions in the Supreme Court and the Delhi HC against WhatsApp's new privacy policy, but not doing so would not make the regulator's order "perverse" or "wanting of jurisdiction".
The court said it saw no merit in the petitions of Facebook and WhatsApp to interdict the investigation directed by CCI.
