Germany will not let WhatsApp roll out its new privacy policy, should India follow suit?

The Facebook-owned messaging app is set to roll out its new privacy policy and terms of service on May 15.

Tough road ahead for WhatsApp as Germany has barred Facebook from processing personal data from WhatsApp users. The country’s lead data protection regulator has also called WhatsApp’s new terms of service “illegal”. The Facebook-owned messaging app is set to roll out its new privacy policy and terms of service on May 15. Facebook had already delayed the rollout of the new terms of service but considering the surrounding ambiguity, the company might delay it further in Germany. WhatsApp’s privacy policy has caused massive confusion among users ever since it announced the new privacy policy. The company was earlier scheduled to roll out February 8 but looking at the reaction of people, the company had postponed the date to May 15.
