Argentina: Issued ruling by Appeals Chamber confirming temporary injunction in the WhatsApp case
Description
Issued ruling by Appeals Chamber confirming temporary injunction in the WhatsApp case
On 11 August 2023, the National Court of Federal Civil and Commercial Appeals issued a ruling confirming the temporary injunction against WhatsApp and Facebook. The original injunction required the suspension of the updates to WhatsApp’s privacy policy, the restraint from sharing user data, and the communication of the decision to the users based on potential detrimental effects on the market and increased monopolisation. The injunction is upheld until the end of the investigation by the National Commission for Protection of Competition (CNDC).
