NEW DELHI: Some of the proposed government regulations for social media companies operating in India are threatening the very existence of WhatsApp in its current form, a top company executive said here on Wednesday.With over 200 million monthly active users, India is WhatsApp's biggest market in the world. Globally, the platform has over 1.5 billion users. Without this feature, Woog explained, WhatsApp will be a completely new product. There is a process in place in India to discuss this issue".The end-to-end encryption feature makes it difficult for law enforcement authorities to find out the culprit behind a misinformation campaign. While roughly 20 per cent of these accounts are banned at the time of registration, over 70 per cent of the spam accounts get banned without a recent user report," Woog said.
