    I never had an issue restoring with Titanium Backup and manually copying the WhatsApp folder on the (internal) SD card to the other device. Other parties don'ty even get a security message that my key has changed this way because it is still the same key.

    European commisionars can not be removed individually, only the whole commission can be removed. This has happened once.

    The US is a 3rd world country on many aspects, and telecom is one of them. In Europe the telcos tried wringing out their customers by charging big money for each sms and even more for mms. After WhatsApp came this profit model crumbled (mms is now so rarely used here anymore that most of the telcos stop supporting it at all, which is no wonder for $0,50 per message), and attemps of the telco's to charge extra for not blocking WhatsApp brought us net neutrality. In the US mobile subscriptions come with unlimited sms but are extremely expensive compared to other places. That's how the US telco's could keep getting huge profits without having to block WhatsApp. However, they still might try that after their lobbyist got parachuted in the FCA.

  19. Get rid of the imaginary property laws and start government research programs to new medicines. And I mean the government doing it themselves, not giving money to a private company in the hope they do it for you. Privatizing and monopolizing a market where "consumers", aka patients, have no choice does not work.
