The Competition Commission wants to prosecute Meta Platforms for allegedly abusing WhatsApp’s dominance in South Africa.
The Competition Tribunal says it will hear an application on Tuesday, 18 April, involving the Competition Commission prosecuting Meta Platforms for the alleged abuse of its market dominance in South Africa.
“GovChat and #LetsTalk are seeking participation rights in the pending Tribunal proceedings on the basis that their interests are not adequately represented by the Commission,” the Tribunal stated. According to GovChat, Facebook wanted to kick them off WhatsApp to deal directly with the South African government by offering similar services.
Facebook argued that GovChat repeatedly refused to comply with its terms of service and refused its offers of help to become compliant.
