Here in Europe, WhatsApp actually powers many neighborhood watch groups, and so when it goes down, basically a formal crime reporting system also goes down.


Neighbors watching Neighbors and reporting via WhatsApp...sounds like the Netherlands.

I think if its staying down for a few more days Canibalism will ensue by the end of the week.


This also means that you can't participate in a neighborhood without agreeing to a legal contract with Facebook to use their services, as well as submitting to ad surveillance and tracking.

That's a dick move by the neighborhood.
