WhatsApp sends Cease and Desists for apps that use native Android APIs
The real problem here is that after this stunt I'd like to completely stop using Whatsapp and switch to something else instead, but I can't because other people use Whatsapp and communicating with other people is essential to me.<p>The problem is there no laws to stop whoever becomes the lucky recipient of such a network effect from doing whatever they want.<p>Instead antitrust law needs to be expanded to consider network effect platforms like social network as monopolies on ways of interacting with their users, and restrict them from several behaviors like this one.
