CHINA BANS WHATSAPP

WhatsApp has finally been banned from in China mainland by the country's government, with photo and video sharing, text message and other WhatsApp features are currently not functional.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp has previously been blocked but was lifted with few days and this time, it's unclear when the ban will be lifted.

The ban of WhatsApp has also affects some other services including normal messaging. It's not hard to get the reasoning for the move WhatsApp surveillance impossible or difficult.

However, the move had made all Chinese users to switch to a popular messaging service in the country called WeChat which is owned by Tecent, a Chinese company that often accepts information request by china government.

Considering the ban of Facebook, Instagram and even the last Mark Zuckerberg messaging app in China, WhatsApp ban, I think this has likely put a dent for Facebook's plan to expand more services into the country.

Hugh Hefner 's so-called "better place" is waiting ... and it's right next to the woman who helped him launch Playboy. Hef bought the crypt to the left of Marilyn Monroe 's in L.A.'s Westwood Village Memorial Park.

Jim Carrey's lawyer, Marty Singer, tells TMZ: "This is just another desperate attempt by the attorney after Cathriona White’s own family distanced themselves from this sham lawsuit yesterday.  These distortions and false statements by the attorney do a disservice to Cathriona’s memory and to the truth.  Cat White’s biological mother, Brigid Sweetman acknowledged in writing that she received death threats because people believed she was responsible for Cat’s death. This latest attempt to create a diversion by the attorney from his meritless claims just shows how low he will stoop.”  Jim Carrey  exposed his late girlfriend to herpes, chlamydia and Hepatitis A by hiding it and continuing to have unprotected sex with her ... according to new docs filed by her mom.  Cathriona White 's mother,  Brigid Sweetman , claims she has Carrey's positive blood test results and submitted them as evidence to prove he knew he had STDs in January 2013 ... a couple weeks befo...
