Gregory's Server@atomicpoet in most of the world, telecom has been very expensive over the years. But small local companies were able to offer people data connectivity through "Facebook everywhere" that offered unlimited free FB & Whatsapp. That program eventually ended but WA is now the default communications platform in most of the world.

 @atomicpoet We think it is a mistake to not converse about the ills of #FakeBook Corporation. It takes a few ppl to talk about this stuff before it sinks in and they explore ethical options. Remember #GetNEOED (Network Educate Organise Engage with power Disobey) in that order.  @atomicpoet Comparing to Canada is never fair, Canada is the worst. But anyway in 2010, when FB was rolling this out, mobile data was utterly inaccessible in most of the world. SMS and voice was also expensive. So WA became the default method for communication. |
@stevenbodzin Ironically, data is way less expensive here in Malaysia than in Canada. By orders of magnitude, in fact.
