Most Indians trust news they receive on WhatsApp, finds study
The majority of Indian citizens trust news that they receive on WhatsApp, a study released on Thursday by the Oxford University’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism found.
The study analysed responses of citizens in India, Brazil, the United Kingdom and United States on questions about trust on news outlets and social media platforms. It sought to examine “the relationship between trust in news and how people think about news on digital platforms”.
According to the study, 77% of respondents in India said that they trusted the news media in general. Meanwhile, 54% of them said that they trusted news that they receive on WhatsApp, 51% on Google and YouTube, 41% on Facebook, 27% on Instagram, 25% on Twitter and 15% on TikTok.
The study also showed that 70% of those who held a favourable opinion about Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that they trust news on WhatsApp, as compared to 58% of those who held unfavourable opinions about him.
Nearly half of the Indian respondents (48%) said that they get news online at least once a day, which was the lowest figure among the four countries that were part of the study. Meanwhile, 34% of Indians said that they never get news from online sources, which is by far the highest figure among the four countries.
46% of the respondents in India said that they use WhatsApp for receiving news on a daily basis, as compared to 58% in Brazil.
Among Indians who are politically interested, most respondents (69%) said that they trusted YouTube for news, while TikTok was the least trusted platform for this purpose, at 24%. However, among Indians who were not politically interested, the most trusted source was WhatsApp (46%), while TikTok had the lowest level of trust (13%).
Reuters study titled 'The Trust Gap: How and Why News on Digital Platforms Is Viewed More Sceptically Versus News in General'The respondents were also asked about negative and positive perceptions about journalists. In India, 58% of the respondents believed that most journalists manipulate the public to serve the agenda of powerful politicians, while 57% believed that journalists care more about getting attention than reporting facts.
However, 57% of respondents in India also believed that journalists independently verify the information that they report, while 53% believed that they try to prevent their opinions from slanting the news.
Reuters study titled 'The Trust Gap: How and Why News on Digital Platforms Is Viewed More Sceptically Versus News in General'The study found that across all four countries, most citizens say that they largely do not use social media platforms to receive news.
“For most platforms, people are more likely to say they use them to connect with other people in their lives or for entertainment or to pass the time rather than to find out information about current affairs,” the report said.
WhatsApp claims by Indian authorities may affect users from other countries

Editor of the History Department.
Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp filed a lawsuit against the Indian government this week to challenge new rules for handling user data. The authorities want to oblige the social network to provide data on the first sender upon request. To do this, WhatsApp will need to weaken the end-to-end encryption that protects messages, as a result of which data will be revealed not only about the sender, but also about the recipient. This could compromise the security of more than 400 million users from India and probably even from other countries. nine0005

What happened
In February, the Government of India passed new regulations on social media, messengers, online media and streaming services. The platforms were given three months to complete and the deadline expired this week.
According to one of the innovations, messengers with more than 5 million users in the country (in India, WhatsApp and Signal) must identify the first sender of information when required by the court or government. If the content was originally launched outside of India, then the platforms must determine its first instance within the country. nine0005
WhatsApp and Signal use end-to-end encrypted messages. They cannot see their content, nor can they track the path of specific content. According to technology policy advocate Namrata Maheshwari, platforms will need to change their architecture to ensure traceability. This will worsen your privacy and security on the Internet. Each person will be treated as a potential criminal, and the company will have to store huge amounts of data indefinitely.
Government of India informs that it does not intend to violate anyone's privacy. According to his statement, tracking will only be used "for the investigation or suppression of very serious crimes that violate the sovereignty and integrity of India, national security, friendly relations with foreign countries or public order, and in case of incitement to the above crimes.
" In addition, data may be requested in cases of violent crimes and distribution of sexual materials, including those involving children. nine0005
However, these definitions can be interpreted in different ways. On the one hand, the government will be able to find those who spread dangerous disinformation. On the other hand, to track activists and political opponents.
According to Johns Hopkins cryptographer Matthew Green, disclosure has serious consequences: “If you build a system that can go back in time and uncover a few people who sent some content, then it can also unmask any person forwarding any content. nine0005
Consequences for WhatsApp
This is not the first time WhatsApp has been in this situation. Brazil, the second largest market for the messenger after India, makes similar demands. Other countries, including the US, Canada and the UK also wanted the platform to weaken the encryption. However, India, the largest market for WhatsApp, has formally introduced traceability requirements for the first time.
WhatsApp is the country's primary means of communication - many smartphone owners in India download this app first. In 2020, WhatsApp was the leader in monthly active users. However, over the years, the messenger has not only become a method of communication, but also filled with disinformation, causing consequences in real life. nine0005
Digital rights activist Srinis Kodali claims that the Modi government "came to power through social media - Twitter and WhatsApp - and is now trying to control them." Kodali does not use WhatsApp to discuss controversial political issues.
Big tech companies and the Indian government have been at odds for a long time. In April, for example, India asked Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to remove posts critical of its response to the second wave of the pandemic. nine0005
But WhatsApp has clearly had a challenging year. In January, the messenger introduced a new privacy policy that caused a lot of controversy.
After that, many users from India decided to switch to Signal and Telegram - the number of downloads of these applications increased dramatically. Indian authorities also asked WhatsApp to cancel the innovations. The company responded by advertising in local newspapers saying, "WhatsApp respects and protects your privacy," and then delayed the adoption of innovations. The backlash gradually subsided, and many Indians still remained on the platform. nine0005
However, weakening the encryption would clearly change the situation. According to activist Kodali, for now he will continue to use WhatsApp for work. But if the encryption policy changes, he and many others will certainly leave the platform.

WhatsApp is most popular in India and Brazil
The monthly audience of mobile instant messengers will reach 2.
5 billion people this year, which means that 87.1% of smartphone users exchange messages through OTT applications. The eMarketer agency wondered which countries have the most users of the most popular WhatsApp messenger. It turned out that the top three countries by audience are India, Brazil and the United States. Moreover, there are six times more Indians on WhatsApp than Americans. nine0005
The quantitative metrics of the WhatsApp audience are especially interesting in the run-up to the launch of the first advertising tool in the messenger, which since its inception has remained a territory free of monetization and ads. But, as you know, advertisers are interested in a solvent audience, and in WhatsApp the first lines are occupied by India with 340 million users and Brazil with 99 million. The US is only in third place with 68 million users, which is quite comparable with the pursuing countries, among which Russia is in sixth place. According to eMarketer, there are 54 million WhatsApp messenger users in our country.
By the way, in Brazil, Argentina and India, this messenger is used by more than 90% smartphone owners.
However, WhatsApp itself is not happy with the fact that India and Brazil are leading the top ten. Firstly, in these countries, the messenger fixes a large number of fake accounts. Secondly, at least in India, the spread of false information via WhatsApp has led to fatal riots. The eMarketer agency attributes WhatsApp's popularity in India to the fact that the messenger can run on low-cost advanced phones such as the JioPhone. In addition, WhatsApp itself uses the messenger's impressive audience in India to test new services, such as money transfers. The pilot launch took place last year and now the messenger is waiting for the permission of the authorities to launch the service commercially. nine0005
The American audience was only 7.7% of the total, but it should be understood that eMarketer only tracks 18 countries, which means that this percentage may be even lower. The agency notes that the popularity of WhatsApp in the United States is hindered by the popularity of regular SMS, as well as Facebook Messenger and iMessage applications.
