So in the new upcoming major feature update for IOS, Apple is adding RCS support in there messaging app. What are the privacy implications of adopting RCS?
Is there any other apps that have RCS support on Android other than Google’s own messaging app?
The reason for my asking is because I was considering migrating my relatives’ messaging app to a RCS supported one because they will probably most likely enjoy the extra bandwidth of RCS.
Note, they’re already using Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp for most of their conversations.
But don’t you just get tired of jumping through hoops for every little thing these days?
Big tech needs to stop being evil. There, problem solved, right…right…ha
Do you know that everything in the universe has a price so it stays balanced? Same goes to this. You either deal with it (spend effort) or switch to a worse (evil) option where you pay with your data (much more valuable thing) to get more consistency.
Not gonna happen. Even if you put highly moral or religious people on the management, someone will find a way to ruin it. The bigger the project gets, the bigger effort bad actors will be ok with taking to take over it. The xz vulnerability is the perfect example. The bad actor there spent like 2 years to get trust of the main developer.
