According to the information, India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has sent yet another letter to WhatsApp, asking the company to withdraw its controversial privacy policy.
After updating the policy, in the letter, the government pointed out that the changes raised “grave concerns” regarding the implication for choice and autonomy of Indian citizens and asked the messenger to withdraw the new policy.

The letter further adds that WhatsApp’s policy “undermines the sacrosanct values of informational privacy, data security and user choice for Indian users, and harms the rights and interests of Indian citizens.” Additionally, the ministry has also asked WhatsApp why it needs to enforce the new policy in India when those in the EU have been exempted from it. “It is not just problematic, but also irresponsible, for WhatsApp to leverage this position to impose unfair terms and conditions on Indian users, particularly those that discriminate against Indian users vis-à-vis users in Europe,” the letter adds.
