And I'm not sure you can draw the analogy between this and handing out Target coupons at Walmart, because in this case you're promoting a competitor while also using the service as designed, not exactly the case with the Walmart analogy.    I'm not advocating a call to action here, but I also don't think we should bury our heads in the sand and cry "free market" and ignore the issue.  Part of a free market means a company's choices can be scrutinized, and that's exactly what's happening.  WhatsApp can make their own product decisions, and people can make their own product decisions based on those choices.
