  • RCS is a really nice thing in principle, because SMS/MMS infrastructure is just awfully outdated from security standpoint.

    Though, replacing SMS/MMS infrastructure which is internetless yet cross-carrier by making it a internet-first and tied to a single meta-carrier under the hood kind of defeats the purpose overall. There was an attempt to build an independent carrier-deployable implementation of RCS, yet it turned out to be bought off by Google :(

    I think there is quite a bit of rational thought in the statements. Though, it is definitely clear the person was either emotional, or was trying to make you emotional (and apparently succeeded) :)

    I 100% think that without support of government, such boycott or switch in choice priorities might be having some risks, especially in high-tech markets, where Europe is obviously behind. Though, the statement about taxes clearly incorrect, because decreasing taxes would straight lower ability of EMEA area to actually make the investment at all, especially in circumstances, when countries have to put huge fractions of their GDP into militarization on extremely short notice and with deadline set to “three years ago”.

    Taking that into account, I think that was just a troll account, or not too intelligent person being fed a pile of disinformation. Regardless of what it is: it is the wisest to ignore opinions of such people, they are simply not worth the wasted energy :)
