Meta appeals $27.6M penalty in India over WhatsApp data sharing with other Meta products.

Meta Platforms Inc. has appealed a Rs 213.14 crore ($27.6 million) penalty imposed by India's Competition Commission (CCI) for allegedly abusing its dominant position with WhatsApp's 2021 privacy policy update. The case, set for January 16, challenges the CCI's order to stop sharing WhatsApp user data with other Meta products for advertising for five years. Meta argues the CCI's decision has broad industry implications and seeks an expedited hearing.
