Indeed, the need for Free Software at every level cannot be overlooked. My happiness was the result of seeing unexpected positive step from someone like whatsapp. It doesn't take us all the way to privacy, but it is a step in the right direction. Now already there are Free Software applications for using whatsapp network and if they make it federated (I'm doubtful about it though), we'll have an option of using a service of our choice too. Jabber is the decentralized solution and ind.ie is the peer to peer solution.
