What country requires you to have WhatsApp to get a driver’s license?

I assume it is less the government office and more the driving instructor.

In my travels through Asia I often noticed how Zuckerberg's "Free Basics" / internet.org initiative which gives free data for reaching Facebook, WhatsApp etc. and Wikipedia completely dominates communication with any local business. SMS, e-mail, phone calls, ... cost money. WhatsApp via cell network is free.

It is fascinating to get cell service in countries that don't have net neutrality. You can buy a 2GB/unlimited calls and texts plan from the largest Mexican operator for US$15. But after that you can get a plan that only allows social media like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram for US$2.50. As long as you stay within those walled gardens you pay almost nothing. Hard to imagine anyone breaking that monopoly when the alternative is more than 5x the price.

Didn't that initiative ended badly like 10 years ago?

EDIT: No, it was "Facebook Zero"
