  • I don’t know what may have changed as I am an iPhone user, but about 10 years ago I worked in a small security role for a fairly large company, and the communications company we were using was more than happy to hand over sms logs as plain text. I would personally never send messages to anyone I was sure wasn’t encrypted and I can tell that by the blue bubble. I just don’t know when it is green.

    I don’t know what has changed as I don’t keep up with it, but I am still dubious about messaging outside the Apple ecosystem, which is ok for me as I live in a country where most people use iOS



  • This is a lot like the Reddit issues. You would think that most people would take umbrage to being treated like this by a company, but alas, most people don’t care, aren’t technical enough, or have become too invested in a company to want/need to change.

    Companies like Google know this, and it makes me wonder if the ‘don’t be evil’ thing was ever real, or it was simply a bait & switch catchphrase to get them to the point where they were big enough to no longer care what people thought.
