(2019-02-03) Facebooks Whatsapp Limits Users To Five Text Forwards To Curb Rumors

Facebook's WhatsApp limits users to five text forwards to curb rumors. Previously, a WhatsApp user could forward a message to 20 individuals or groups. The limit of five is in expansion of a measure WhatsApp put in place in India in July after the spread of rumors on social media led to killings and lynching attempts.
