Govt mulls blocking WhatsApp calls in insurgency-hit areas
The Centre has decided to examine the feasibility of blocking WhatsApp calls in insurgency-hit areas such as Jammu and Kashmir. Security agencies face problems in tracking WhatsApp calls between militants as the service provider offers end-to-end encryption. This comes after militants accused in a 2016 attack, which killed seven jawans, claimed that they received orders through WhatsApp calls.
