..for the purposes of invading user privacy no less.
Can't have iMessage out there free from Google Ads can we? And we certainly wouldn't want all those iMessage users to not have the pleasure of having their data sold to info brokers? That's a human right isn't it? /s
These tech firms are just wayy too powerful. It's like if you take one down, the others say, "Awesome!!!", and they start selling the data that we've now legally obliged the first tech firm to give them access to.
- room500 3y agoI don't understand how opening iMessage would sell existing iMessage data to anyone? Today, if an iPhone user sends a message to an Android user, that message is sent via SMS. If Google wanted, it could already scrape the message. What would change if the protocol was open and the message was sent to the Android device using iMessage? There is no expectation for Apple to give Google read/write access to the iMessage database (not that it exists, but still). What is the downside of users being able to interoperate and use the protocol?
