      I know it’s a pipe dream, but what if WhatsApp chooses to not compromise their encryption either. You’d have chat control but no chatting. Would be kinda interesting to see.

    So, what is everyone’s opinion on RCS-Chat? I’m trying it out with a good friend of mine and the functions are so much better, plus (in our case at least) it’s e2ee. I especially love the transcribed voice messages, because fuck listening to 3 minutes of blabbering when I can simply read it in a fraction of the time.

      Yeah, it’s probably the best solution there is (if there would not be a mandatory phone number you have to give) But gatekeepers do what they do best :(. It feels off to advocate for it though after already bringing many to Signal.

      It is good to have an alternative, but having to need one would also mean that it’s has been already compromised by the EU. :)
