Government to ban WhatsApp for official business

The Indian government has decided to ban the use of WhatsApp for official communications among its employees, as announced by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. This decision stems from concerns over data security and privacy, as WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is not considered secure enough for official government business. Instead, the government is promoting the use of its own secure messaging platform, GIMS (Government Instant Messaging System), which is designed to meet stringent security standards. This move is part of a broader initiative to enhance cybersecurity and protect sensitive government information from potential breaches. The ban will be implemented across all government departments and agencies, with strict enforcement measures to ensure compliance.
