The Delhi high court on Wednesday, March 30 raised concerns over the alleged sharing of data by Facebook with other companies, and referred to the Cambridge Analytica incident, which is facing probe for allegedly illegally harvesting data of Facebook users. “Sharing of data, scrapping of data…someone needs to look into it. Aside this case, they say there are 5,000 data points on every citizen… They can predict what you are going to do in every situation,” the court said. A bench of Justices Rajiv Shakdher and Poonam A. Bamba made these observations while hearing appeals of Facebook and its firm WhatsApp against the single-judge order refusing to stop the competition regulator Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) from directing a probe into WhatsApp’s new privacy policy.
