For your first question: I do not have a specific methodology recommendation for WhatsApp but more a recommendation for measurement of Online Knowledge Sharing. I just recently read the paper and sat in a presentation that focus on Q&A communities (in this Stack Exchange) and examine why individuals share knowledge in Stack Exchange. The authors developed a questionnaire with measurement items from prior studies ("with minor modifications to ensure contextual consistency") that focused on nine specific factors: self-efficacy, altruism, trust, reciprocity, personal expected returns, identification, shared vision, social network ties, and community level expected returns.
Here is a link to the paper: https://books.google.com/books?id=ly9iDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43&dq=online+knowledge+sharing+motivators+of+top+contributors+in+30+Q%26A+Sites&source=bl&ots=0fAKfOM6p4&sig=j1b4QqLNQRrVcOBsTYJ0Tlcie-Y&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj1suPEidHcAhUK1lMKHQgxB0kQ6AEwAHoECAEQAQ#v=onepage&q=online%20knowledge%20sharing%20motivators%20of%20top%20contributors%20in%2030%20Q%26A%20Sites&f=false

Hi everyone,
I have two queries:
a. Has anyone had success with studying WhatsApp -- especially what
motivates users to share and forward content? If so, what sort of
methodologies worked?
b. I am working on a research project looking at ethics frameworks for
digital platforms - if you have any suggestions for examples of existing
platforms and open source communities, consultancies (business and
developmental), research institutes or social enterprises that have
demonstrated best practice in governance models and foundational
principles, I'd love to know.
Thanks so much,
All best,
Padmini.
