Being the most used application in the world to communicate, WhatsApp has many tools of its own to make sure that everything goes as it should, so it is best to know the rules of the app and thus avoid possible bans.
Although we all use WhatsApp on a daily basis, possibly at all hours, not all users know what can or cannot be done in the app. It is logical, nobody reads the contracts or the licenses of use.
Well, the best thing is that you know that WhatsApp has the ability to end groups. Yes, as you have read. Although the safest thing is that it has never happened to you, the company has the power to close toxic groups (and we are not referring to those that only send audios).
But how do they do it? Since WhatsApp cannot see your content due to end-to-end encryption, the moderation team uses advanced machine learning technology based on registered information from other toxic groups.
Currently, WhatsApp is closing groups What are they reported multiple times by different users, or groups that have suspicious information, such as names and descriptions of illegal subjects: drugs, terrorism, etc.
When a group is closed, its participants can no longer send messages or read the chat history. Nor can they open the group information and read the list of the other participants.
Of course, just as it closes them, WhatsApp also offers the possibility to contact customer service within the closed group to be able to send a restore request.
Although this step is rather slow and nobody assures you that it will work. Although it is always a good option when a mistake has been made, as sometimes the company closes harmless groups by mistake.
End-to-end encryption has its good things, like privacy, but it also shows us the other side of the coin, since that same privacy does not allow effective tracing of people who actually commit crimes and use messaging apps to organize such crimes.
