Throughout the weekend, rumors spread that the Spanish government is using WhatsApp for xenophobia. According to this view, a new and controversial role of social interaction would be used for political consideration. In fact, it's very simple: WhatsApp has been traveling this route for years and a new update has not only reached Spain, but worldwide.
What this new job does limit user messages, but don't limit them. The ask will be to separate users from their political thinking and prevent them from sending messages, but the new WhatsApp update does to block everyone equally, in fact, regardless of their views or position. Surprisingly, this method is not the latest, but has been effective since January 2019; now the scale of this is just a little extended.
And when we go back a bit more, right up to June 2018, we found that WhatsApp already had plans to curb the spread of hoaxes, because it started a mission that marked the messages that were sent. In other words, Facebook's strategies for avoiding this event came from the past, and it has not only happened in our country.
WhatsApp does not integrate; in fact I couldn't even do it
While in January 2019 we’ve reduced the number of times we can share a message with one to five shots, now we can only do it once as long as the message is sent five times before. In other words, if we want to pass a virus message sent more than five times, we can send it to one person at a time.
If WhatsApp continues to keep its stupid view, following instructions from the Sanchezstein government, to curb the spread of sensitive messages to the government, it will not only cooperate with bananas research, but that people will go to the Russian Telegraph and others.

But forcible acceptance will be blocked regardless of what your content is or the content that is shared is completely helpful. At the end of the day, that would be a little bad, since the most important thing is to stop harmful hoaxes, especially now with coronavirus infection
“We know that there are many users who convey important information, as well as funny videos, memes, references or phrases that they consider important. In addition, in the past weeks WhatsApp has also been used to schedule public support sessions for senior health workers. However, we have seen a significant increase in the number of referrals, according to some users, which can be difficult and contributes to disseminating misinformation. We believe it is important to limit the spread of these messages, ”explained WhatsApp in a statement.
And Damn Bulo and Newtral can't imagine what your WhatsApp messages are
At the same time, the hoax is spreading over that Both Cursed Bulo and Newtral, two organizations dedicated to denying the hoaxes and working for Facebook as information verifiers – to prevent false information from spreading through the social network – they are in charge of deciding which WhatsApp content to explore.
In fact this doesn't happen, and even WhatsApp can't read our messagesI don't even want to. This is because of the final encryption: our phone includes a message, and only the recipient's phone is able to delete it; Not even the Facebook servers go through these messages.
While it is true that they w ork for Facebook choosing which content is false, that is not the case with WhatsApp. However, doubts have been intensified since these two terms appeared on the official WhatsApp website as information verifiers. However, The only thing they can do is to respond individually to each and every user who doubts whether the content is real or not.
When Google was asked questions about how Google works
The fact that WhatsApp has been publicly announced in this regard is reminiscent of when Google accused Congressman Zoe Lofgren of calling on US President Donald Trump since his image came out during a search on Google Images, without realizing it was an algorithm that categorizes content based on web-based parameters – non-political or ideological.
