New Delhi, January 19

Three days after WhatsApp said it had delayed the implementation of its controversial privacy policy, the Union Ministry of Information and Technology has asked it to withdraw the recent changes in the privacy policy, saying unilateral changes were unfair and unacceptable.

On January 16, WhatsApp had delayed the introduction of the new privacy policy after user backlash over sharing of user data with the parent company, Facebook Inc. Earlier, the policy was to come into force from February 8. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
