In today's time, Whatsapp has joined everyone's everyday life. There are smartphones in every hand and every smartphone has Whatsapp. With its help, people send messages to their loved ones, make calls, video calls, and even send photos and videos to them too. But have you thought that a feature of this app that is so much workable is extremely dangerous, which can also get you behind the bars of the prison? Surely no one would have thought so. Whatsapp himself will not even be aware of this feature being so dangerous. But this feature of Whatsapp has made the life of 21 year old Junaid Khan living in Raigadh district of Madhya Pradesh(India).
First, know what happened to Junaid
Junaid lives in Raigadh in Madhya Pradesh. On 14th February, a section of the IT Act was filed against Junaid and also a lawsuit has been filed under sedition. It is alleged that Junaid was a group administrator, in which the offensive message was forwarded. Junaid has been behind the prison bars for the last 5 months. Junaid says that he was only a member of that group, not the group admin. He did not know how he made the group admin Indeed, if Junaid's statement is true, then the cause of his group admin is a feature of Whatsapp, which has led to his arrival today.
This is the features of Whatsapp, people create and mail a message, through which a message can be delivered to many people at one go. The features of Whatsapp have made people comfortable for grouping, but the feature of 'Default Group Admin' is extremely dangerous. Actually, if you made any group on the Whatsapp, then you are his administrator. If the administrator goes out of the group after making the group itself, then the Whatsapp make anyone the default administrator, provided you have not created someone else's admin in that group.
This feature has trapped Junaid. It seems to be the same in the case of Junaid. Junaid says he was not a member of the group The group was some other person, who forwarded an offensive message. When locals filed a complaint against that objectionable post, Imran left the group. Because Imran was the only admin, so, as soon as he went, Whatsapp made Junaid a 'default group admin'. Now in this case Imran has been caught by the police, as well as being a group administrator, Junaid has also been arrested.
It is also very difficult to deal with the trouble of Whatsapp. In fact, if there is no admin in any group then who will be given the responsibility of that group? Well, to deal with it, the Whatsapp will have to come forward. Whatsapp has an option to deal with this. Under this, if a member is absent from any group, then the sending of messages to that group should be banned and the members of the group should be invited to become the Administrator. If a person agrees to make himself an administrator, then he should make an administrator. However, this is just a suggestion for Whatsapp. It will be interesting to see how long such features will come in the future or not. The Group Administrator does not have the right to delete any post from the group, due to which many problems are happening.
