minus-square Mongostein ( @Mongostein@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilink3•11 months agoI mean, this is a thread about US phone use.

minus-square Kid_Thunder ( @Kid_Thunder@kbin.social ) linkfedilink2•edit-211 months ago It’s not, though? Second sentence in the article: Unfortunately, that’s a fact not quite represented in the US. (emphasis mine) The article is US centric and mentions studies and the market in the US all over the article. The article even talks about RCS and the issue there.
