China partly blocks WhatsApp messages

Sepertinya upaya China untuk memblokir layanan pesan sangat keterlaluan. Baru-baru ini, WhatsApp, aplikasi pesan yang digunakan di seluruh dunia, sebagian dibatasi di negara tersebut, dan pengguna melaporkan kesulitan mengirim video dan foto, termasuk pesan berbasis teks.

An anonymous person, who refused to name himself, said that they are not authorized to speak on the record about the disruption and he also added that the block against WhatsApp stemmed with the government.

If WhatsApp goes permantly blocked, it would add on the list of banned sites that only grows longer by day in China. Also, it would be a advantage for Weibo, a Chinese-owned messaging app, to be a popular option.
