Privacy policy update on hold: WhatsApp tells HC Privacy policy update on hold: WhatsApp tells HC Updated: Jul 10, 2021, 09:04 IST NEWDELHI WhatsApp on Friday accepted that ‘the government is the administrator’ in its case and informed the Delhi High Court that it will put its privacy policy update “on hold” until the Data Protection Bill came into force. This is a significant development after the new Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw made it crystal clear within minutes of taking charge that “law of the land is supreme” and no one can afford to disrespect it. WhatsApp’s counsel also accepted that its commitment is “we need to fit in the law”.
