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.

Google controls RCS servers. Collects data and sales it. Apple adopting RCS would mean monopoly situation

Yes, a FOSS protocol/standard would be better

Open standard is the only option

RCS is at least allowed to be used by other companies so it’s at least a small step in the right direction

...of a single company controlling major sms functions turned on by default by every phone?
