WhatsApp banned from sharing data with Facebook in Germany
WhatsApp threatened with legal action over Facebook data sharing deal:
The order “prohibits Facebook with immediate effect to collect and store data of German WhatsApp users”, according to a statement from the watchdog. “Facebook is also ordered to delete all data that has already been forwarded by WhatsApp”, it said.
The order had been taken out because the data sharing deal was never done with the agreement of users of the two companies, the watchdog said.
