    Actually that’s the case where she, being incompetent, found the right point to press.

    She literally attacks the use of network effect to preserve oligopoly. Not knowing that.

    And yeah, there is deniability for Apple in the sense that “this isn’t intentional, normies are just creating these ape social dynamics all by themselves”, but their ads etc have pretty consistent emotional messages. Yes, they do endorse it.

    And they couldn’t refrain from their usual bullshit even in the answer to this.

      Blue texts are sent using proprietary encryption. Green texts are standard SMS/MMS protocol. Apple has pressed GSM to include encrypted RCS for SMS/MMS. The government is not a fan. She can be upset, but there’s no reason for Apple to give away proprietary encryption software or foot the server cost for transmission.

        First of all proprietary encryption is BS which should be equated to obfuscation instead of encryption.

        Second, I think I’ve addressed this:

        but their ads etc have pretty consistent emotional messages. Yes, they do endorse it.

            This is just straight wrong. iMessage on android has worked by connecting to a remote Mac, which then connects to imessage. The protocol is locked to their hardware.

            And, even if there was a true open source reimplimplementation of iMessage, that would say nothing about the security of Apple’s proprietary implementation of the iMessage end to end encryption.

            This is like if a neural net had been fed Apple ads and Apple fans’ weird ideas on computing.

            Try to understand that imitating the way Apple PR talks doesn’t sound geeky, it sounds awfully ignorant.
