WhatsApp is used by over 1.5 billion people, and according to industry estimates, it is now Facebook’s most popular service. But Whatsapp has lots of problems like fake news, disturbing content, fake account and many spams. Whatsapp has very focused on this problem very crucially. Therefore to deal with this Problems WhatsApp has brought many changes to it. India is the country which is the WhatsApp's largest market. The government of India is inspecting the services of the WhatsApp very closely.

According to VentureBeat, At the press in New Delhi, Company executive said that they have built a machine learning system to detect and remove out users who engage in inappropriate behavior, such as sending huge messages and creating multiple accounts with the sole purpose of spreading questionable content on the platform.

How it is going to happen:-


The company has said that Whatsapp had to ban about 2 million accounts every month. One of its spokespeople has said that the Seventy-five percent of 2milion account that is banned in the Whatsapp is not even handled by a human. Whatsapp software engineer Matt Jones has said that They have found the new machine learning system that allows the WhatsApp to ban 20% of its account at the time of its registration. He has also said that before applying this baning policy the system looked on various factors. The system will be able to detect whether the account is new and if the account started sending a ton of messages immediately after registration.

 Matt Jones says some Users has also misused the platform by using “special software” to run multiple WhatsApp accounts on one computer. The engineer adds that they also found devices that support “dozens” of SIM cards. WhatsApp looks at various factors, including the user’s IP address and the country of origination for phone numbers used to sign up for the service (and whether both are pointing to the same location), how old the account is, and many more.
