Why would you suggest a conspiracy theory like that?
I'm not even sure what RCS is, other than a replacement text service that American phone companies offer. I am not aware that it's something that I could use over here.
- sib 2y agoRCS is a messaging service / protocol developed by the GSMA (the global system for mobile communications), a non-profit industry association representing mobile telephony operators worldwide. Nothing to do with American phone companies.

- sib 2y agoFor someone who is "not even sure what RCS is," you seem very certain of that. Per Wikipedia: "In early 2020, it was estimated that RCS was available from 88 operators in 59 countries with approximately 390 million users per month. By November 2020, RCS was available globally in Google Messages on Android, provided directly by Google if the operator does not provide RCS. By 2023, there were 800 million active RCS users on Google's platform and 1.2 billion handsets worldwide supporting RCS." Per my calendar: 2020 was << 15 years ago.
