WhatsApp is imposing a new limit on the number of individuals or groups that a message can be forwarded to in a bid to curb rumors and misinformation campaigns. The cap, which will set the new limit to five globally, is an expansion of a similar rule imposed in India last summer after rumors led to killings and violent lynching attempts.

“We’re imposing a limit of five messages all over the world as of today,” Victoria Grand, vice president for policy and communications at WhatsApp, said at an event in Indonesia, according to CNBC.

The messaging service and platform, which Facebook acquired for $22 billion in 2014, has more than 1.5 billion users and is increasingly under pressure to halt the spread of misinformation. Forwards were previously capped at 20 groups or individuals.
