The Delhi High Court begins hearing Chaitanya Rohilla's petition challenging Whatsapp's updated privacy policy.
Court asks the petitioner: What is your grievance? It's a private app, don't join it.
Court: What is the data you feel is going to be compromised?
Petitioner: Whatsapp shares information globally. Everything they gather from us is shared.
Court: Mr. Lal, there are two issues. One is that your personal messages are looked into and shared. Two is that your browsing history is shared.
Petitioner: They analyze browsing history and form an opinion about the user and share that.
Court: All apps do that.
Petitioner: In Europe and the US, Whatsapp gives an option to accept or reject the updated policy. But here in India, no such option is given.
Court: You have an option, don't use the app.
