Brazil's WhatsApp Ban Reveals A Big, Scary Problem For Everyone
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/brazil-whatsapp-ban_5672bd0ae4b0688701dc58bb
The ban was supposed to last for 48 hours but was overturned on
Thursday. Regardless, it speaks to a larger problem that impacts
not only Brazilians, but anyone who uses a smartphone -- or any
online service, for that matter. If an app or service can get
shut down with the flip of a switch, where does that leave
users?
