Saudi Arabia banning WhatsApp, Viber and Skype

Most popular Islamic country of the world Saudi Arabia has warned Skype, Viber and WhatsApp to block their messaging and call services in the country because those applications are not in accordance with Saudi Arabia rules and laws.


This is not first time in Saudi Arabia to block messaging and calling services. BlackBerry got banned already in 2010 by Saudi Arabia’s ministry of information technology. Officials told that BlackBerry services didn’t remain to Saudi Arabia’s requirements. BlackBerry was using a secret encoding service which was preventing Saudi government from monitoring its messaging service.

So, this time Saudi Arabia has threatened three messaging and call service provider applications which are supposed to be risky for national security according to Saudi security advisors. Skype, Viber and WhatsApp are not banned till today but government could ban these services at any time of the day or night.

According to local Saudi Arabia news channel, WhatsApp, Viber and Skype has been threatened to block their service by government but are not yet shut down. This might be because government wants to pressurize WhatsApp, Skype and Viber to offer service in accordance with Saudi Arabia’s rules and regulations, CNN reported.
