WhatsApp collaborates with Israel to find some of its users? “This is false information,” the instant messaging operated by Meta proclaims aloud, who spoke to deny this statement from the Iranian state agency, Irib.
“We fear that this false information is used as an excuse to block whatsapp at a time when people need it more,” the application specifies, remembering that “all their personal messages and calls are encrypted from beginning to end so that we cannot see them.”
WhatsApp formally denies Iranian propaganda
Irib explains that WhatsApp reveals the location data of its users in Israel, which could ultimately allow more precise attacks by the army. Israel has managed to eliminate several important objectives of the Iranian regime, since the Hebrew State has embarked on a conflict that can change the region in chaos.
But given the precise attacks on the part of the Israeli army, and to maintain control of its population, the Islamic Republic of Iran has begun to block a certain number of applications, while censuring social networks. The diet seeks to avoid a popular survey, in a country where the Internet regularly experiences dysfunctions.
“We do not follow its precise location, we do not maintain personal messages newspapers that people send each other, we do not provide massive information to any government,” add WhatsApp to try to silence rumors and propaganda messages.
If this is the case, WhatsApp can collaborate with the authorities in the context of precise judicial applications, and not with the secret services of a country. However, encryption allows you to prevent data that can be transmitted through the application cannot recover it by goal, so that the user is identifiable (or localizable).
Only users interested in a conversation can thus access their messages through an accessible encryption behind an identification system.
