Ankara 4th Administrative Court has taken an important step towards the protection of personal data by rejecting Facebook’s application regarding Whatsapp. The details of the news prepared for you by Sahne Medya, your eyes and ears in the digital world, are as follows…
WhatsApp sent a notification to its users on January 4th asking them to accept its updated privacy policy. WhatsApp, which forced its users to accept the new terms, which included sharing personal data such as messages, account and location information with Facebook, had to back down.
Competition Board Stopped the Application
The Competition Board had taken a temporary precautionary measure regarding the update on January 11 and stopped the application in question. The Competition Board, which thought that the connection of WhatsApp data with Facebook would provide an advantage that would eliminate fair competition in the market, stood against the exploitation of consumers and monopolization in the field.
Court Rejected
Following this decision by the Competition Board, Whatsapp had brought forward its planned update date. Facebook also applied to the Ankara 4th Administrative Court to overturn the decision. The court, which reviewed the application, rejected Facebook’s request. This victory for protecting the security of users’ personal data has created hope for the future in terms of preventing consumer exploitation.
