According to a monthly report provided by WhatsApp, the messaging network banned 18.05 lakh Indian accounts in March based on complaints received via the grievances channel as well as its internal process to prevent and detect violations.
Large digital platforms (with more than 50 lakh users) must publish compliance reports every month, detailing the details of complaints received and actions taken, according to new IT guidelines that went into force last year.
According to the most recent report, WhatsApp banned 18.05 lakh Indian accounts between March 1 and March 31, 2022, utilizing the “abuse detection approach, which also includes action done in response to negative input received from users…”
Meanwhile, a WhatsApp representative added that the company has constantly invested in Artificial Intelligence and other cutting-edge technology, as well as data scientists and experts and processes, to keep users safe throughout time.
