Users just want simple direct communications to work (yes, with more features than that, E2EE, image sending, and such; but those features are not the focus).

Users just want simple direct communications to work (yes, with more features than that, E2EE, image sending, and such; but those features are not the focus).
Companies want to get users into a walled-garden where they can target them for financial and political gains.
Democracy trying to push things away from the latter seems good. Do you agree?
- tekknik 4y agoWhat about this is a walled garden. SMS exists, this is an attempt to get green bubbles painted blue, and reactions to attach to a bubble. These are all visual changes and not at all required for functionality. Explain how this is such a problem that a government decided to focus any effort on this. It seems like they have nothing better to do.
