It has only been a few days since WhatsApp introduced their new privacy policy, which basically meant that you either accept the changes or stop using WhatsApp altogether. The policy shed light on how Facebook and WhatsApp are integrating for deeper data sharing. Although the policy will go into effect next month, it has already caused some scrutiny in Turkey.

According to Bloomberg's report, the new terms and conditions have created some privacy concerns, which resulted in an antitrust investigation by Turkey's antitrust board. The regulator talked about halting the implementation of new terms because they will result in "more data being collected, processed, and used by Facebook".
