WhatsApp Banned Users Will Have Nowhere to Go! They Will Also Be Blocked on Other Apps; New Rule Coming Soon

Now, if a user is banned on WhatsApp, they can also be blocked on other messaging platforms. The government may soon introduce such a rule to prevent online fraud.

Now, people blocked on WhatsApp will have nowhere to go! The government may introduce a rule under which users banned on WhatsApp will also be blocked on other platforms. This rule is being considered to prevent cyber fraud and scams, and discussions are currently underway. This rule will also curb those who, after being banned on one app, switch to other apps to target people.

WhatsApp Blocks Millions of Contacts Every Month

To prevent cyber fraud, WhatsApp blocks millions of contacts in India every month. This includes people involved in fraudulent activities as well as those who violate WhatsApp's guidelines. The company provides this information in its monthly compliance reports. According to media reports, this system is not sufficient to prevent fraud. While WhatsApp's compliance reports increase transparency, they don't prevent people from moving to other platforms to commit scams.

Now the Government is Making These Preparations

Now, the government is preparing to block accounts banned on WhatsApp across all platforms. WhatsApp will now share these numbers with the government so that they can be blocked on other digital platforms as well. It's worth noting that most scammers use messaging apps to target people. Once an account is created, it can be accessed even without a SIM card. This makes it very difficult to track the fraudster in case of fraud. To overcome this situation, the government has also made SIM binding mandatory. After this is implemented, users will not be able to use any messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Snapchat without an active SIM card.
