💨 Abstract

Iranian state television has called for the public to remove WhatsApp, claiming without evidence that it sends user data to Israel. WhatsApp, owned by Meta Platforms, denied these allegations, emphasizing its use of end-to-end encryption, which prevents message interception and tracking. Iran has a history of blocking or restricting access to social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Google Play, Instagram, and Telegram.
