It's also noteworthy that the RCS platform adopted by companies worldwide is run by Jibe, a company owned by Google. Doubtless, Apple doesn't want to use Google's servers any more than it needs to.

"open protocol" my ass. Google just wants control over everything.

Except companies can run their own. In Google messages it tells you who runs your server. Most carriers ran their own, but when they realised there was no benefit (e2ee) and having to maintain it, they started shifting to Google ran servers.

But can't run my own server.

I don't know, but that's not what was said. The comment I replied to said Google controlled everything, and that's false.

Just here to correct false claims.
