"It's Voluntary, Use Some Other App": Delhi High Court On WhatsApp Policy

The Delhi High Court on Monday said accepting the new privacy policy of social messaging app WhatsApp was a "voluntary" thing.

"It is a private app. Don't join it. Use some other app," Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva said to the petitioner, a lawyer, who has challenged WhatsApp's new privacy policy. The court also said that if the terms and conditions of most mobile apps are read, "you would be surprised as to what all you are consenting to".
