TLDR: Two apps are integrated with Android. WhatsApp is integrated with Android. Facebook wants the integration to stop, so they sue this other apps integrated with Android.
The solution is easy. Facebook should remove the integration from WhatsApp. Problem solved. If you don't want other apps to extend your functionality, you should not integrate with other systems.
The reality is that when a behemoth like Facebook tells you to do something and that they know were you live (probably literally), your company is at risk independently of how crazy the claims are.
Corporations are the new big abusive government. But we can't vote them out.

- Freak_NL 8y agoYou and I can (and probably do), but the carrot it too sweet for the majority of users.
- mdpopescu 8y agoNow do that with the government.
- kartan 8y ago> Now do that with the government. It is a similar problem. You can do that with education, healthcare, transportation, security... You can have a private version of that. Probably you can't have your own military, even that in the USA is not so clear. Most people just can't afford the private version. The government version of that services is way cheaper, so you are stuck with it even if the government does not want to invest to have a good service.
