Action taken in compliance with government rules

WhatsApp said that it has closed a total of 76,28,000 accounts between February 1 and February 29. Of these, 14,24,000 accounts were closed even before any user complained, that is, WhatsApp itself noticed wrong activity in these accounts and took action against them.

More than 16,500 complaints were received

This messaging app, which has more than 50 crore users in India, received a record 16,618 complaints in February. Of these, action was taken only in 22 cases. Taking action means that WhatsApp took action against the account based on the complaint. Such as closing the account or restarting the previously closed account.

WhatsApp security system

The company says that it adopts many methods to prevent fake news and wrongdoings. For this, it not only uses security features but also employs a team of engineers, data scientists, and experts in law, online security, and technology. These people keep an eye on the activity of the account after it is created and also take action on the complaints of the users.
