Ok, maybe not remove it completely, but start tampering with it. And i quote the article:

   Because messages are end-to-end encrypted, to comply with the law WhatsApp says it would have break encryption for receivers, as well as “originators”, of messages.

Also Telegram is not encrypted by default, so it's not a better alternative in that sense.

You may dislike facebooks business practices, but they are in the right on this one.
