The European Commission is the 27-nation bloc s main market regulator
BRUSSELS (AFP) - The European Consumer Organisation announced Monday it had lodged a complaint with the European Commission against Facebook’s attempt to modify the terms of service for the WhatsApp messenging service.
The US tech titan has sought to nudge users of its messenger platform to accept new terms of service, but Facebook denies that this would allow WhatsApp to share more user data with its main social platform.
Regulators and privacy activists have condemned the move, and authorities in some countries including EU member Germany have stepped in to to impose temporary bans.
