Facebook blocks WhatsApp rival Hike Messenger’s ads
India based Hike Messenger has accused social media giant Facebook of blocking some of its advertisements. Specifically, those ads that allow people to visit Hike’s website were blocked, the app-based company alleged.
“Advertisers have, among other options, the option to send people to your website’. A few weeks back we were suddenly blocked from using this option, while we were able to use other non action-led options,” a Hike spokesperson said.
When the WhatsApp-rival contacted Facebook, it received the following response: “There are specific products and services that cannot be advertised on Facebook – looks like Hike is one of these. Unfortunately, you will not be able to run these ads.”
This comes over a month after Facebook-owned WhatsApp was found blocking links to another rival messaging app…

By Ed Zimmerman & Betsy Zimmerman
Raising Sand (2007) was a remarkable album and its availability in high definition enabled me to renew my love for this collection of duets featuring former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant and one of music’s most Grammy-winning artists, Alison Krauss. The album snagged five Grammy awards including the “Album of the Year.” Yet while Raising Sand features many remarkable duets between Krauss and Plant, perhaps my favorite song on the album isn’t really a duet. It’s more of a Krauss song, actually, and it’s called “Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us.” Recent conversations with several friends who love the song (and the album) have made clear to me that many don’t actually know to whom the title refers.
