Dear members of the FSFE discussion list,
Please allow me to share a concern of mine. A business initiative of Google, supported by Apple, is Rich Communication Services (RCS), an open standard to replace SMS [1] [2] [3]. Questions that I have: - Would it be a smart and wise decision to let a non-European business take control over replacing SMS? - Would it be a smart and wise decision to break SMS as a general accessible service? - What would consequences be for Free Software, the privacy and consumer rights of us Europeans, and the environment?
Best regards,
