During August Whatsapp Reported 2.39 Million Accounts In India, The Most In 2022!

JAKARTA - WhatsApp banned 2.39 million accounts in India last July. This is known from the management report of Meta's popular instant messaging application on Thursday night, August 31. This is the highest ban so far this year.

The stricter state IT law from South Asia does require major digital platforms to publish compliance reports every month.

The draft rules circulated in June have proposed the formation of a panel to listen to user appeals, and said that a significant social media messaging platform would allow the identification of the first information originator if directed by the court to do so.

From the banned accounts, there were 1.42 million "proactively disproactively", before any reports from users.

Some accounts were blocked based on complaints received through the company's complaint channels and the tools and resources used to detect the breach, the social media platform said. In July, WhatsApp received a total of 574 complaint reports.

The messaging platform, which has been criticized previously for spreading false news and hate speech in the country, and elsewhere in the world, has removed 2.21 million accounts in India in June.
