Problems for WhatsApp in India

The app has been having trouble for months now, but this threat is the most serious yet. On previous occasions , WhatsApp had been asked to take measures to prevent fake news from spreading so easily. The app has made some changes, but they don't seem to have worked, causing the government to run out of patience.

The government wants the app to tell them the source of the fake news. So they can take legal action. But WhatsApp does not consider this appropriate, since in this way the end-to-end encryption is broken.

This decision does not end well with the government in India. Therefore, they threaten to block the application in the country. If so, the app would lose a key market in which they are the leaders. We will see if both parties finally reach some kind of agreement.
