#NEWDELHI The Centre told the
Delhi High Court that WhatsApp, which became an “essential digital service” during the
COVID pandemic, was now obtaining “trick consent” from its users for its updated
2021 privacy policy ahead of the pending Personal Data Protection (PDP) Bill becoming a law.
It emphasised that WhatsApp is indulging in anti-users’ practices by obtaining the “trick consent” from its users for its updated privacy policy.
“It is submitted that millions of WhatsApp existing users, those who have not accepted the updated 2021 privacy policy are being bombarded with notifications on an everyday basis,” said the affidavit, citing a screenshot of the push notification and urged the court to restrain WhatsApp from “pushing notifications” to its users.
