WhatsApp’s updated privacy policy had sparked controversy because it made users aware, for the first time, about the extent of meta data it actually collects.From January 2021 onwards, WhatsApp users in India started receiving an in-app notification asking them to agree to the platform’s revised privacy policy in one month’s time.In simpler words, users had to agree to let businesses use Facebook-hosted services in order to store and manage their WhatsApp chats with customers. And while Facebook said that it will not automatically use these chats to show users personalised ads, the respective businesses will be able to do so. DO you think that Technology companies will consistently violate customer data privacy ?
