WhatsApp exec: Google takeover? google收購whatsapp ?

WhatsApp的吸引力是，它可以橫跨iOS和Android，甚至黑莓或Windows，給fanbois，的fandroids和其他MOBE用戶一個免費的方式，通過Wi-Fi，3G或4G通信。

Thx for your comment. I don't think google is interested in user info as there is a name, contact number and photo. Really important is the large user base. And also the message is more useful than that.

Yes, the client base is the key point, and also such kind of App have high screen occupation rate, that mean good for adv releasing.

If Google take WhatApp, Google will sure examine your communication content, and sends the relevant adv to you. Just like Gmail.

這是一個值得反思的問題 ，
當我們在炮轟某些政府對郵件(email or snail mail alike)作政治審查
的同時，
isp也對我們的電子通訊作類似分析，出售，作為圖利之用。

政府的社會責任，人所共識，
IT企業的社會責任何在 ?

兩者有不同層次:
一個是思想操控及選擇性資訊準入
一個是私隱保護問題.
兩者都主要靠輿論及媒體反制.

Google辯稱, 內容嘅監聽是由電腦程式自動完成, 不經人手, 所以無外洩問題!
你收貨嗎?
