WhatsApp. The American company is under a lot of pressure due to an extremely serious problem that brings it very close to being banned by Apple in the App Store. I'm talking about the fact that WhatsApp is used daily by many people to distribute pornographic materials with minors, and although the company takes seriously the accusations of distributing child pornography, it has not yet found a solution to the problem.
WhatsApp. Thousands of accounts on the platform are blocked daily for distributing child pornography online, the huge problem being revealed by two Israeli NGOs, who found many groups where such content is shared. These organizations have been following for several months what is happening there, and WhatsApp learned about this problem since November, with 256 people being identified as sharing pornographic content with minors in those groups.
WhatsApp. Close to being BANNED by Apple
WhatsApp. Although the company knew about them for more than a month, they were active including this week, having names such as Gay kids, which are very clearly against the rules established by the platform. In the last 10 days, WhatsApp claims to have blocked 130.000 accounts from its platform, a huge number, but unfortunately it has not yet managed to completely solve the problem, which is of a criminal nature, and may attract huge fines from various states.
hild pornography is still being openly and extensively shared via the messenger app WhatsApp, despite the company banning thousands of accounts on a daily basis. The groups, which contained up to 256 individuals, made clear what they were sharing by either naming themselves with abbreviations such as "cp" or using explicit images as their profile pictures. One group, called "Kids boy gay" had individuals from India, Pakistan and the US sharing and requesting illegal child content.
WhatsApp. An even bigger problem could be with Apple, which withdrew the Telegram application from the App Store for a day after it was discovered that pornographic content with minors was being distributed there, and the Americans immediately blocked its download. Blocking WhatsApp will be done just as quickly and without remorse by the Apple company, which has strict rules regarding content of this kind, which is distributed through active applications in the App Store, so we could soon witness the banning of the application of those from Facebook.
