Meta-owned WhatsApp banned 2.9 million accounts in January, based on the newest India month-to-month report by the favored messaging platform.
The ‘user-safety report’ incorporates particulars of the consumer complaints obtained and the corresponding motion taken by WhatsApp, in addition to WhatsApp’s personal preventive actions to fight abuse on our platform.
“As captured in the newest Monthly Report, WhatsApp banned over 2.9 million accounts in the month of January,” a WhatsApp spokesperson said.
Between January 1 and January 31, 2023, as many as 2,918,000 WhatsApp accounts were banned, the report said adding 1,038,000 of these accounts were proactively banned, before any reports from users.
An Indian account is identified via a +91 phone number.
“In addition to responding to and actioning on user complaints through the grievance channel, WhatsApp also deploys tools and resources to prevent harmful behavior on the platform. We are particularly focused on prevention because we believe it is much better to stop harmful activity from happening in the first place than to detect it after harm has occurred,” the report talked about.
