MODERATORS
Apple flexing their anti-competitive muscles again.
From locking down the OS to proprietary charging and a staunch opposition to right to repair, their track record has been nothing but anti-consumer for the last decade and a half.
And the worst part is that they've gotten away with it for so long and so often that they managed to inspire Android device manufacturers (ahem...Samsung) to follow in their footsteps. Someone really ought to step in and break up the company, Microsoft anti-trust style.
The EU will protect us, right.... Right?
No, because iMessage isn't a gatekeeper in the EU. It's comparable to Signal in size, depending on the country.
Hopefully with Apple adopting RCS they fix the spec to include e2e encryption. At the moment only Google's proprietary client does RCS with their own encryption.
