The instant messaging app WhatsApp has begun the process of banning several of its users who it thinks are part of WhatsApp groups with objectionable or suspicious names.

For example, a user was recently banned for being part of a group named 'Child's Pornography'. The group itself was purged out. Along with it, all the numbers which were part of the group got banned.

If you are part of any hate group with a suspicious name, you better come out of that group. Or else, you will risk a permanent ban.

Any user who violates the terms set out by WhatsApp will face a permanent ban. The app doesn't entertain any requests and an automated message will inform you that you have been banned.

In case a malware added your name to a malicious group without taking your consent, you won't be banned.
