Title: WhatsApp has some new features
description: WhatsApp has been very popular for many years. Every now and then
WhatsApp surprises its users with modern features and facilities.
It found that the company was now making headlines for being imposed a massive fine for breaking data protection laws in Ireland.
What's the problem ? What happened ?
WhatsApp will pay € 225 million for breaking data protection rules.
The country's Data Protection Commission has imposed a fine of € 225 million, making it one of the biggest fines imposed on any brand in the last few years under EU data protection law. According to online reports, WhatsApp is accused of not showing user data with full transparency, and of how it collects and processes all the necessary information. We learned that WhatsApp did not provide information on how the data is being collected clearly, and was also unable to explain to users what their data is being collected for. DPC also raised concerns about how WhatsApp processes user data and whether third parties are used for this purpose.
What does the spokesman of the company say?
A spokesman for the company released a statement citing that the brand's fine is related to the 2018 policy.
WhatsApp's priority is to offer users a secure platform and has made all information shared with DPC transparent.
