Dare I say it, if you convince 60% of the US to communicate on your platform exclusively, you deserve to be hit hard with an antitrust violation. IMHO iMessage

IMHO iMessage should be broken off from Apple and they shouldn't be allowed to run a messaging platform like this.
- matheusmoreira 2y agoAntitrust is good but it's treating the symptom, not the disease. The disease is the fact it's illegal to crack open their locks. We need their permission to interoperate. If we don't have it, we're criminals if we try. All we need to do is legalize reverse engineering and circumvention for the purposes of interoperability. In less than a year the iMessage nonsense will be solved because all competing platforms will add support for its protocols whether they want it or not. They'll try to make it hard to do it but it won't matter. Adversarial interoperability should be the norm. They shouldn't have a choice in whether they are interoperated with. It should just happen organically. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/adversarial-interoperability https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/adversarial-interopera...
