WhatsApp introduced 'checkpoints tipline'.
This tipline will help in
creating a database of incorrect information and rumors.
To tackle fraudulent reports
before the general elections in the country, WhatsApp released the 'Checkpoint
Tipline' on Tuesday. Through this, people can check the authenticity of the
information they receive. "This service has been introduced by India's
Media Skill Startup 'Proto', a company that owns WhatsApp, said in
a statement. This tipline will help in creating a database of incorrect
information and rumors. It will be possible to study these inquiries for
'checkpoints' during the election. Checkpoint has been launched as a research
project in which technical support is being given on behalf of WhatsApp. "
The company said that people
in the country can send wrong information or rumors to them at the checkpoint
tipline at + 91-9643-000-888 of Whatsapp. Once a user submits this information
to the tip line, Proto will notify the user by confirming the correct or false
information on its certification center.
With this confirmation, the
user will know whether the message he got is correct, false, misleading or
disputed. Proto Certification Center is able to confirm picture, video and
written message. It can confirm Hindi, Telugu, Bengali and Malayalam language
messages with English.
