Does Google keep logs of my text messages(RCS)? (sh.itjust.works)

In the past, I've heard about how Google can keep records of all your Google phone's past locations and text messages.

What about RCS messages which supposedly are encrypted from Android to Android? I know that it's possible that they secretly keep a log behind the scenes, but as far as the regular consumer knows is there any record being kept with regard to the contents of these RCS messages?

Of course they do.

And if they don't, someone else does.

Google software is not secure, nor are they interested in preserving anyone's privacy against third parties or honoring their own terms about data sharing.

Your shit is everywhere.

Linux also is not secure if you install random open source packages without audit though.

Who mentioned linux?

[–] helloworld@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

linux is the only alternative to android when it comes to computing. I consider ms-windows a non-option.

So you started another conversation. Gotcha.
