      There is some discussion on if this means that 3rd party apps can develop for chat platforms, and it seems so at face value. eg, gaim/pidgin or trillian can make a come-back and you can use whatever client you want to access the Whatsapp platform. Nothing would then stop an app from natively integrating whatsapps apis alongside their own.

          Facebook is estimated to make 116.6 billion US dollars per year. They will not give up 11.7 billion dollars every year as a fine.
