MODERATORS
I don't have anything particularly useful to your point, but in the US text messages (edit for clarity: SMS messages) are considered public record and nothing is needed to snoop around in them. Call records and recordings at least require a warrant.
That's interesting, wow.
I don't want to imagine the reactions from people who think they're having a "private" green bubble conversation, only to realise it's a public record 😳
If it's not e2e then even if not public it can be purchased with no notification as well.
