WhatsApp to Suspend Processing Law-Enforcement Requests for User Data in Hong Kong

HONG KONG– Facebook Inc. and its WhatsApp messaging service, in addition to Twitter Inc., have suspended processing requests for user information from Hong Kong law-enforcement firms following China’s imposition of a national-security law on the city.

WhatsApp is “stopping briefly” such reviews “pending even more evaluation of the effect of the National Security Law, consisting of formal human-rights due diligence and consultations with human-rights specialists,” a WhatsApp spokesperson said in action to a Wall Street Journal query Monday.
