New measure to prevent the spread of false news and false information from WhatsApp
While WhatsApp is one of today's most important communication channels, it is the most effective tool for the spread of false news and misinformation. The destruction of false news and false information can be much more than usual in this period, when the world is fighting the global horizons outbreak.
To prevent this, WhatsApp has restricted users from being able to send messages to others (forwarding) with a single tap. With this restriction on “frequently transmitted messages”, users will be able to send these messages to only one chat at a time. The restriction will not cover messages generated by users or their immediate surroundings.
Last year, WhatsApp began using the "double arrow" icon to show that a message was delivered multiple times. The company was then able to understand that a message was circulating between different chats.
WhatsApp said two million accounts were penalized each month, trying to send automated or multiple messages. By restricting the fact that a message could only be transmitted to only five chats at a time in mid-2018, WhatsApp enabled the transmitted messages to be reduced by 25 percent.
As WhatsApp announced its new measure, he underlined that messaging between chats is not bad. "We are aware that many users are providing useful information. Funny videos, images, and meaningful prayers are also shared in this way. In recent weeks, people are also being organized through WhatsApp to support healthcare workers who work the front of the front. However, we have also identified an increase in the transmission of messages in this process that may cause people to be concerned and may cause the spread of incorrect information. In order to keep WhatsApp as a platform for personal conversations, it is necessary to slow down the spread of those messages.
