January 10, 2021

Minister for Science and Technology, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain has said efforts are being made to introduce a strong data protection law to protect citizens' privacy.

Responding to the WhatsApp Privacy Policy allowing data sharing of consumers, he said instead of adopting a unilateral approach, such policy changes should have been made after wider consultation.

The Whatsapp users are required to agree to new policy by 8th of next month if they want to continue using the service.
