WhatsApp's recent decision to share user data with parent company Facebook today reached the doorsteps of Delhi High Court, which sought the government's response on the modification.

A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra issued notice to the Centre on a plea by two users of the most popular instant messaging service, alleging that WhatsApp , Facebook Inc and Facebook India Online Pvt Ltd's new private policy "compromises the rights of its users".
