India wishing for the traceability of WhatsApp messages to control the spread of false information, a professor at the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras pointed out Wednesday that the problem could be easily solved without diluting encryption end-to-end and adversely affect the privacy of users.

India has begun to claim the traceability of WhatsApp messages after several cases of lynching last year have been linked to rumors broadcast on the courier service.
