Quote:The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has imposed a fine of €5.5 million on WhatsApp for violating data protection laws when processing users' personal information. The ruling is related to an update in WhatsApp's Terms of Service that was imposed before the enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018 which required users to agree to the revised terms in order to continue using the service. The complaint was filed by privacy non-profit NOYB, which alleged that WhatsApp breached the regulation by compelling its users to "consent to the processing of their personal data for service improvement and security." In addition to the fine, WhatsApp has been ordered to bring its operations into compliance within six months.
