The NCLAT has quashed the CCI's ban on WhatsApp's data sharing with Meta group entities, which was imposed for five years. It also upheld a ₹213 cr fine on Meta for violating competition regulations. This ruling allows WhatsApp to resume its data practices while ensuring CCI retains oversight on anti-competitive behavior.
This decision may impact investor sentiment towards Meta, as it clarifies regulatory boundaries in data sharing practices.
