Facebook was charged by European Commission to pay 1 percent of its annual sells for providing "incorrect or misleading information" in seeking approval for Facebook-WhatsApp deal.

A Brazilian judge ordered phone carrier companies in the country to block Facebook-owned messaging app, Whatsapp. The blocking order was issued because Whatsapp did not comply in a previous court order to hand over personal information to assist an ongoing criminal investigation.

WhatsApp announced that it will focus on the latest mobile operating systems by 2017. This could be bad news for BlackBerry and Nokia.
