Users free to remove WhatsApp if concerned about data: Delhi HC

New Delhi, Jan 18: The Delhi High Court on Monday remarked that WhatsApp is a private app and the users are free to remove the application from their phone and move to another platform if they are not agreeing with its terms and conditions while hearing a petition against the messaging apps’ new privacy policy.
A bench of Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva was hearing the petition filed by lawyer Chaitanya Rohilla through his counsel Manohar Lal, in which the petitioner contended that the Facebook-owned Whatsapp will “take away the choice of users” by sharing their data with third-party apps related with the two social media giants once the new WhatsApp privacy policy comes into effect from February 8, 2021.
