The Indian government has written to WhatsApp after the firm announced a change to its privacy policy. The government said that the changes were discriminatory because they didn’t affect Europeans.
According to a report from Reuters, India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology asked WhatsApp to backtrack on its planned privacy policy changes which saw it lose users to rivals Telegram and Signal. In a letter, the government complained to WhatsApp saying it was unfair that European users won’t be affected by the changes but Indians will.
