Meta, WhatsApp win relief as India tribunal suspends data sharing ban

Quick Summary:

NEW DELHI - An Indian tribunal temporarily suspended a five-year data sharing ban between WhatsApp and owner Meta Platforms, a major relief for the US giant which had warned its advertising business will be affected.

In 2021, WhatsApp was accused of violating European Union laws by failing to clarify changes to its policy in plain and intelligible language.

Facebook's registered entity engaged in selling advertising in India - Facebook India Online Services - reported revenue of $351 million in 2023-24, the highest in at least five years.
