The US House of Representatives announced a ban on the use of “آ .واری“All the council’s devices, after security concerns related to the application and its data encryption mechanism, according to the Reuters report.

The report indicated that the House of Representatives relied on sending a note to all members and employees, confirming the prohibition of using the application due to security concerns, which includes the absence of transparency about protecting user data and not encrypting the stored data, which causes many security gaps.
