I think the barrier would be loss of access to friends and family. Especially group chats. From inertia, conversations would continue on iMessage without the person who switched.
I would like to see iMessage on other platforms, but I don't think I'd want the protocol itself opened up. That would lead to much more spam (I saw this starting to ramp up on google chat before they cut off XMPP).
- pseg134 3y agoMaybe as a work around one of the EU commissioners can bug your family and friends to include you in their group chats. Access to group chats have recently been added to the list of inalienable rights.
- robertlagrant 3y agoThis is my instinct too. If the only thing keeping the family together is regulations, then what does that mean? Wouldn't they just all switch to WhatsApp or Signal?
