Also, at least in Brazil, Whatsapp became a tool for journalists on the streets. A very interesting use...



And in Sweden (some) police men were discovered using Whatsapp - sending sensitive information about suspects[0]. They were discovered when they accidentally misstyped a phonenumber. Whoops.

The police in Sweden have some Blackberry encrypted services, but apparently these police men were not given one because they're expensive.
