Ripe for antitrust litigation. Reminds me of Microsoft bundling Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, developing countries have bigger things on their plate than going against Meta, especially since I figure the “bribes” and promise to improve the nation’s internet infrastructure are very substantial.

The issue is being framed very differently from IE and MS though. You have, to paraphrase:

vs

> Free WhatsApp is harming market efficiency.

I'm guessing a lot of people are reluctant to spend a lot of effort on the later point.
