WhatsApp Pay and financial data monopolies
After India, Brazil is the second country in the world with WhatsApp Pay service. Vanessa Koetz investigated next to Bianca Kremer and Joana Varon the process and its impact on data monopoly and data colonialism. “This case is fascinating because it exposed the need for cooperation within regulatory authorities on data protection, competition law, financial law and consumer rights, especially between Global South countries that hold a vulnerability position towards the Global North. Thus, practical issues such as internet access, connectivity, inclusion, and gender asymmetries are very important to consider in this case” the researchers state.
Vanessa Koetz is Project Directress and Research Fellowship in Coding Rights. She is a lawyer from Brazil.
