This - they should just mandate RCS, or maybe actually invest in developing a modern European standard and then mandate that. It’s not like they don’t have research universities with CS departments who could be part of a standards body.
I don’t mean they should limit alternatives - just that they should require a modern, E2EE standard on all phones, and then we can all just shut up about this.
- bni 3y agoNo please don't mandate a specific protocol (that probably suck!) instead require the successful/important protocol tho become interoperable.
- kj99 3y agoIf you mandate that the winning protocol be interoperable you end forward progress on that protocol. If you mandate an official protocol be available alongside others, that protocol can be kept up to date by committee.
- troupo 3y ago> they should just mandate RCS RCS doesn't have e2ee in the standard.
- kj99 3y agoAgreed. Which is why I think they should come up with an official standard that does.
- wkat4242 3y agoOr matrix. It's really great and it can interface with most other networks already.
- dbbk 3y agoIt won't be mandated but iOS is getting RCS so we can all move on
