To stop Fake News, the government asked to bring this special feature to WhatsApp

The Government of India is disturbed by the overwhelming response of whitespace and is considering all the measures to reduce it. In this connection, the government has urged Whatsapp to come up with a feature that can take digital fingerprints of all the messages sent by users. After the arrival of this feature it will be easy to know where the message has been sent from and the delivery has been done.

 



Let us know that whatsapp currently works on E2E (Indo-Ind encryption). With this feature, the investment agency has difficulty finding out where the message has been sent from. Here the government does not want that the will speed shut down its IND to IND encryption, but the government wants to add the features of the digital fingerprint along with this feature.

It is not that after the arrival of digital fingerprint, all the users will be able to read the message. According to government sources, only the police and law enforcement agencies will be able to see these . At this time, the agency is dependent on meta data to read a message and requires a phone number, profile picture, group member names, location, time off chat, IP address.

In Australia and Singapore, White space has created special laws to read messages when needed. The Singapore Police monitors private chat on Whatsapp while Australia’s police can bypass the message encryption.
