MLex Summary: WhatsApp’s 2021 privacy policy update constituted an abuse of dominance, an Indian tribunal ruled on Tuesday. While the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal upheld the penalty imposed by the antitrust watchdog, it struck down the five-year ban on data sharing imposed by the Competition Commission of India, saying it is not sustainable. The CCI had fined the WhatsApp and its parent company, Meta Platforms, $25.25 million last November. It had also barred the messaging service from sharing data with its parent for a period of five years as one of the behavioral remedies imposed.
