  • Why is this being presented as "whatsapp will be the one and only" instead of "whatsapp won't be the only option"? The DMA will users to install nearly any chat app and chat with users from another chat app.

    • Where are you getting "the one and only" from? Are you misinterpreting "one-stop solution"?
