Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    1. EU passes the chat interop legislation.
    2. Apple is forced to do RCS.
    3. ???
    4. Corpos that shout now declare victory.

    First privacy, then USB, now RCS.

      I don’t see this happening. Apple to/from Android are the only texts that the government can easily snoop on.

        There are mandated back doors in most message apps. Messages between different message systems are normally harder to read
