"Ajao, 52, sent a final message via WhatsApp – which enables users to send text messages and pictures over the internet – just three minutes before he began Wednesday’s slaughter."

Facebook, Google and other sites have a history of failing to block terrorist handbooks, including directions on how to use a car as a weapon and a guide on where to stab someone who is wearing a stab-proof vest.

Yet God forbid one post something “too unPC” on FB. Then THEY will pull it themselves.

Talking about actually attacking non-Moslem whites? Naah, no problem! We’ll help!

I thought NSA had a built-in back door to WhatsApp.

So what’s the real story?

WhatsApp is correct.
If the Brits want the info, they need to get a search warrant from the appropriate authorities.
Anything else might set a precedent that undermines personal privacy and civil rights.
After the search warrant is obtained, though, if WhatsApp does not give up the info or destroys it, they all need to go to jail.

When the police state comes, it will be wrapped in the flag of civilian safety.

Bad news for WhatsApp, the NSA/CIA/MI5/MI6 probably already has the info they want. Their just trying to make it look legal by asking for it.
