    US is still stuck on SMS, so much that they even made an upgrade to it with RCS.

    It felt like an upgrade to the DVD disk when you have the Internet.

      IMHO, I’ll gladly take RCS over the world’s most popular messaging clients - Meta products.

        I don’t know why people have more faith in cellular providers. They have been selling all of your data before Meta was a thing.

          Which is why I said RCS and not SMS or MMS.

          Once we get that new open end to end encrypted RCS protocol, that’s the thing to migrate to. Fuck SMS, MMS, Meta products, WeChat, etc. One end to end encrypted standard, that can be used by any messaging client, on any mobile OS.

            RCS only increased the meta-data the cellular providers and messaging apps is selling on you.

            They don’t care about the content in your message, so e2ee is useless in this case.

            They’re selling who you message, when, and where you are when you do it. They collect data on which cellular tower transmitted your message. And now with RCS they also know when you read the message.

            Which means RCS is just as useless in terms of privacy. They only enriched the data. So it’s probably worse.
