"khaleejtimes" : The real reason why WhatsApp calls are barred in UAE

As it stated in "As a security and online child protection expert, I have concerns about enabling free WhatsApp calls that are encrypted. I will not endorse any tools that will allow criminals and anti-social elements to use encrypted calls and messages," said Saidalavi. "As a customer, I will definitely stand to benefit if WhatsApp calling is enabled. If we open up encrypted calling services, that will allow terrorists and other extremists groups to communicate securely without being tracked by security agencies. But when you consider the national security and current situation in some Arab countries, I would not recommend it," Dhaheri told Khaleej Times.
