Honestly, this is such a self-made American problem that is not a thing in anywhere else on the world, that I really believe that no regulation is required here (even though I am usually a fan of government regulations, I can’t wait for sideloading thanks to EU).

Like, the rest of the world uses either WhatsApp, Telegram or litany of other choices, the US were just rich enough to buy enough iphones that this effect somehow took hold (plus the strange addiction to SMS due to carrier plans, while we had to quickly forget about it in other places because with non-ascii characters it sucked even more so).
