It would be a bad idea to send shorthand to someone who could not read it.
Similarly, I presume the question here applies when text speak IS difficult to understand, then it is no longer efficient (overall for both parties).
When it is IS efficient, I'm ok with it. The only danger there involves all written communication degrading into a highly efficient condensed Newspeak code with no art or subtlety.
