Googleβs work could encourage the adoption of MLS, much as it did with RCS.
How can you say what Google has done is "encouraging RCS"? They literally monopolised it.
Except it's not all messaging apps cause google messages is the only android messaging app with rcs support
Except it is because the article is about mls and not rcs
Do we have any reason to think that Google would want to not collect data?
The idea of standards like that is that the company cant collect data, obviously that wont stop google.
But the nice thing is that it means you can talk to people who refuse to install signal or matrix from those apps, once the protocol is established
For those who thought this was a serious question:
No
Does this protocol actually mean arbitrary cross-app messaging or would that require the app developers to coordinate in some way?
How about we just get people to switch apps
With you.
Fuck RCS. It's trash. Who benefits from a messenger, in the 21st century, that's tied to a phone number?
