Sorry to nitpick here but i can't remember any event involving hundreds of deaths in Pakistan that Whatsapp was used for. What are you referring to?

Apart from this, posting their religious affiliation on Facebook gets people in trouble. Blaming Facebook or whatsapp for this seems like a reach. It's a problem but im not sure its whatsapps or facebooks problem. These attacks were carried out long before facebook and whatsapp existed.

Edit: i meant to say these types of attacks were carried out long before facebook or whatsapp existed too.
