The article is meandering and hence misses what I think is the fundamental problem with whatsapp - it's not encryption or groups but forwarding. Almost everything wrong with whatsapp can be explained by the absolute simplicity of forwarding crap in whatsapp, and that is frankly not a feature you can consider a tenet of free expression or privacy. I'd argue that reigning in on the viral aspect of whatsapp is what we should focus on.
