印度最高法院将审理Meta和WhatsApp对2021年隐私政策变更的2600万美元罚款的上诉. India's Supreme Court to hear Meta and WhatsApp's appeal against a $26M penalty over 2021 privacy policy changes.

印度最高法院将于2026年2月23日审理来自Meta和WhasApp的上诉,对印度竞争委员会因2021年的隐私政策变化而判处的213.14英郎罚金提出异议。 The Supreme Court of India will hear appeals from Meta and WhatsApp on February 23, 2026, challenging a ₹213.14 crore penalty imposed by the Competition Commission of India over their 2021 privacy policy changes. CCI发现该政策由于限制用户选择和巩固数据控制而违反了竞争法。 The CCI found the policy violated competition laws by restricting user choice and consolidating data control. 法院对该政策的复杂性、缺乏知情同意以及可能滥用用户数据,特别是对于数字上不知情的个人而言,表示强烈关切。 The court has expressed strong concerns about the policy’s complexity, lack of informed consent, and potential misuse of user data, particularly for digitally unaware individuals. 虽然国家公司法上诉法庭维持罚款,并将隐私保护扩大到所有数据共享,但它推翻了为期五年的广告相关数据共享禁令。 While the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal upheld the fine and extended privacy protections to all data sharing, it overturned a five-year ban on advertising-related data sharing. 最高法院将在2月9日前发布一项临时命令,印度电子和信息技术部又加入为当事方,并将考虑CCI提出的对NCLAT决定提出异议的交叉上诉。 The Supreme Court will issue an interim order by February 9, has added India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology as a party, and will consider a cross-appeal from the CCI challenging the NCLAT’s decision.
