		yackback on Feb 21, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: iMessage with PQ3 Cryptographic Protocol RCS is unencrypted unless you use Google's closed garden Google Messages' extensions. Apple is apparently working with GSMA to add encryption to the standard though. (They probably wouldn't add RCS otherwise.)

They would if a regulator made them. They're adding it because China requires it.
