According to WhatsApp’s monthly disclosure resource, the Meta-owned messaging platform, has banned more than 16.7 lakh accounts in India in the month of April. Of these, 122 accounts were banned due to mandatory actions based on user complaints, while most of them, around 16.66 lakh accounts, were banned to prevent harmful activities on the app.
“We have a particular focus on prevention because we believe it is much better to stop harmful activity in the first place than to detect it after the damage has occurred,” the monthly report stated. According to the WhatsApp framework, the app bans an account when it is certain that the user operating the account is abusing the platform. “Our goal is to identify and stop abusive accounts as quickly as possible, so identifying these accounts manually is not realistic. Instead, we have advanced machine learning systems that take action to ban accounts, 24/7. ”, the report said. The company said it bans the account in several cases, including when an account accumulates negative comments, such as when other users submit reports or block the account. The report also says that WhatsApp’s systems evaluate account and user behavior, and take appropriate action after a large number of negative comments are reported. The mobile instant messaging firm uses machine learning and other analytical tools to spot “highly motivated abusers” and ban them from the platform. Previously, WhatsApp had banned nearly 18 lakh accounts in the month of March and 14.26 lakh accounts in February. In January 2022, a total of 18.58 lakh worth of Indian accounts were banned. WhatsApp had also banned several accounts in 2021. WhatsApp banned 20.79 lakh of Indian accounts in December 2021 and 17.5 lakh in November of that year. The new IT rules, which came into effect last year, require digital platforms with more than 50 lakh users to publish compliance reports every month, mentioning details of complaints received and actions that have been taken to resolve them. problems. Previously, WhatsApp had emphasized that, being an end-to-end encrypted platform, it has no visibility into the content of any message. To overcome this, they rely on a number of behavioral cues from abusive accounts and how often people report them. In addition to account behavior signals, WhatsApp AI also relies on available unencrypted information, including user reports, profile photos, group photos, and descriptions, as well as other advanced AI tools and resources to detect abuse in WhatsApp. your platform. read all Last News, trending news, cricket news, bollywood news,Indian news Y show news here.
