<p>Do you have some specification about why it should be a problem
that this new standard is a problem if managed by US companies?</p>
<p>Because <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS</a> says that the SMS
technology started in Europe but it was a multi national
collaboration with various organizations.<br>
Also I guess that there will be a retro compatibility with SMS.</p>
<p>Reading <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Communication_Services">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Communication_Services</a>
has retro compatibility and it is already offered since 88
operators and supported by the GSM association.<br>
</p>
<p>"In response to concerns over the lack of end-to-end encryption
in RCS, Google stated that it would only retain message data in
transit until it is delivered to the recipient." this because
google added in their messages app the e2e encryption.<br>
Also "Google added end-to-end encryption to their Messages app
using the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_Protocol"
title="Signal Protocol">Signal Protocol</a> as the default
option for one-on-one RCS conversations starting in June 2021"</p>
<p>So reading the page doesn't seem an issue that Google or Apple
will add support to this protocol (except for the e2e encryption
that depends on the app used) as it is managed everything by the
operators.<br>

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">Dear members of the FSFE discussion list,
Please allow me to share a concern of mine. A business initiative of Google,
supported by Apple, is Rich Communication Services (RCS), an open standard to
replace SMS [1] [2] [3]. Questions that I have:
- Would it be a smart and wise decision to let a non-European business
take control over replacing SMS?
- Would it be a smart and wise decision to break SMS as a general
accessible service?
- What would consequences be for Free Software, the privacy and consumer
rights of us Europeans, and the environment?
Best regards,
</pre>
