Sorry lad, but most people I know of (and basically all use WA, are not privacy fanatics, or IT experts) saw the article, shrugged, and happily kept messaging (over WA). And even itsec guys I know did as much, after switching the notification option on (including me). The only ones "too" excited about this article seem to be the guys who signed the letter (and you, if you are not part of that letter ;-))
