flag The Supreme Court of India has postponed the hearing of Meta and WhatsApp’s appeal against a ₹213.14 crore penalty imposed by the Competition Commission of India over their 2021 privacy policy update to February 23, 2026, due to the illness of senior advocate Kapil Sibal. flag The case stems from allegations that WhatsApp’s policy allowed data sharing with Meta without adequate user consent, raising concerns about privacy and anti-competitive practices. flag The court previously expressed strong reservations about the companies’ data handling, emphasizing the need to protect users’ rights. flag The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has been allowed to join the case, and the Supreme Court will issue an interim order on the next hearing date.
