This is why I don’t trust Rich Communication Services (RCS) being developed by the big tech giants. I can almost guarantee it’s meant to meet minimum legal requirements otherwise Google, Facebook, et al. would have reverted their services to XMPP federation on a protocol with now even more years of battle testing.
The only part of RCS that's open is the protocol used for servers, like Google's Jibe and Samsung's messages server, to talk to each other.
There is currently no easy way to run such a server yourself, there are none available, and even if one did become available and you could run it, good luck making it talk to the big boys' servers as they could just dismiss you as spam.
Naturally. Is there a term like greenwashing or sportswashing but for free software?
