Germany has banned Facebook from processing WhatsApp user data.
The company s privacy policy is being criticized for being misleading.
Facebook s previous data protection scandals, such as Cambridge Analytica, are being raised as potential concerns, especially as Germany heads towards federal elections later this summer.
WhatsApp s new privacy policy rollout is hitting a snag in Germany. On Tuesday, a regulator issued a barring order on Facebook, banning it from accessing personal data from WhatsApp users. The move comes as a response to WhatsApp s controversial new privacy policy, set to take effect on May 15. While the company promised to not delete user accounts if they refused these new terms as it had originally threatened, the eventual slowdown of account features would encourage all but the most stubborn users to accept or switch, and it seems that s what the regulator takes issue with.
