WhatsApp has recently faced a ton of backlash from the Indian government as well as the public for its controversial privacy policy update. Now, as per a report, the Indian government has asked WhatsApp to create a system that would let officials and execs track user messages on the platform.
“The government is willing to work with WhatsApp to come up with a solution to enable traceability of message originators without breaking encryption,” one of the officials told Economic Times. The hash system will, however, be a bust as even a minor change in the forwarded message will lead to a change in the hash value. You can add an additional period, emoji, or line of text to differentiate your message from the original one.
