In recent weeks, I’ve noticed a rise in censorship regarding SMS communication that’s not being discussed. At all. I’m concerned that it may become a slippery slope that eventually effects us all. I don’t have any dramatic, prose-ridden introduction this week. Just some news, facts, and observations I wanted to share. So this week, follow me down the rabbit hole as I explore an existing but rising threat to our free speech and what we can do about it.

RCS doesn't support encryption natively. Google only has proprietary encryption for Messages app.

Aha, there we go. I was trying to put "end to end encrypted" and "Google" together and it just would not compute.

AND there have been news that RCS can be blocked for rooted phones and custom operating systems!
