WhatsApp
has announced today that its users will not be allowed to go ahead for five
chats in India and the company will remove the fast forward button displayed by
media messages, which is part of its effort to reduce the spread of fake
message on platforms, due to rioting clashes. In a blog
post, WhatsApp users said "More messages, pictures and videos forward than
any other country in the world" in India. The Facebook-owned company has
one billion users worldwide, of which 200 million people are in India.
The news
about WhatsApp fraud has been shouted by the Indian government and false
information is being circulated on the platform of sending its message. Such
messages have encouraged the fury of violence, triggering multiple cases of
suppression across the globe.
"Today, we are launching a test for the forward boundaries that will be applicable to everyone using WhatsApp. In India, we will examine five limitations at a time and we will remove the fast forward button along with the media messages".

Yesterday,
the government shut down a second notification of WhatsApp, so that it would
carry the labels alongside effective solutions as well as injure the fraudulent
information. It warned
the company that the means used to spread rumor would be considered as
'unexpected' and if they were "silent spectators" they could have
legal consequences.
While the
company is still not responding to the notice, the blog post says that such
changes will help keep WhatsApp as a way to design it - a personal message
application, "We've
created WhatsApp as a personal messaging app - a simple, safe and reliable way
to communicate with friends and family. And we've added new features, we keep
the feeling that we try and intimacy, be careful that people think they love.
It has been done, "it said.
WhatsApp
has launched multiple chat forward options a few years ago, it said. "We
are deeply committed for your security and privacy so why WhatsApp is finally
encrypted, and we will continue to improve our applications with features like
this," said the blog.
Whatsapp
said before, it has launched a new security feature with a new label, which
clearly detects forward messages and controls for group conversations over the
past few weeks. The message
service has published a full-page ad of leading news articles, it is really
true that the information that is available to ensure that it provides the
"Easy Tips", the first of a series of its user-awareness campaigns.
It is
working with half a dozen partners to design users' digital literacy programs
to spot false news and keep them safe on popular messaging platforms. In response
to the Indian government's first notice, the government, civil society and
technology companies "work together", because WhatsApp has spread
fake magazines, misinformation and rumors.
Steps have
been taken to misuse its platform, in response to this month's WhatsApp
response that it has the ability to prevent spam, but since it can not see
content of private messages, the report may be based on the blocked user.
WhatsApp
was told to the government that "this is afraid of this terrible action of
violence" and the strategy to tackle the situation provides people's
control and information that they need to stay safe while working actively in
order to prevent abuse of the service.
There has
been rumor that there were incidents of rape in WhatsApp in Gujarat, including
five missing men suspected of child lifters in Barsha village of Dhule district
of Maharashtra.
Recently, a
man was beaten to death, when three people were injured, a group of people
attacked them, the suspects for taking their child away, near Karnataka Bidar.
The Supreme
Court has also interrogated Parliament to formulate a new legislation so that
the riotous clashes can effectively deal with the "horrible activities of
democracy" can not be allowed to be new norms.
