After being fined $220 million by Nigeria’s Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) for data privacy violations, WhatsApp is considering suspending its operations in the country. The FCCPC has addressed reports suggesting that WhatsApp, owned by Meta, might exit the Nigerian market due to the hefty fine. According to a WhatsApp spokesperson, the penalty would make it impossible for WhatsApp to operate in Nigeria or globally. In defense of its decision, the FCCPC released a statement on X, asserting that the fine is a positive step towards a fairer digital market in Nigeria.

Whatsapp should leave Nigeria ASAP I don't chat on Whatsapp anymore due to privacy issues. Nigeria government should ban WhatsApp forever. There are many chat apps we can use. Telegram, Signal. I would personally recommend Signal. |
