WhatsApp bans 2 million Indian accounts in one month

WhatsApp banned two million Indian accounts while it received 345 grievance reports between May 15 and June 15, the company said in its maiden monthly compliance report as mandated by the IT rules.

The new IT rules require large digital platforms with over five million users to publish compliance reports every month, mentioning the details of complaints received and action taken.

WhatsApp clarified that more than 95% of such bans are due to the unauthorised use of automated or bulk messaging (spam).
