India’s competition watchdog on Wednesday ordered an investigation into WhatsApp’s controversial privacy policy update after finding that prima facie, it violates the competition law. The Competition Commission of India or CCI’s order came after it took suo moto cognisance of the Facebook-owned popular platform’s updated privacy policy on the basis of media reports, calling the updates “exploitative” and “exclusionary conduct”.
