    Why should our government care about this? I’ve been on android for over a decade now, I have 0 interest in this imessage bullshit and I don’t understand why our government representatives care

    What benefits are there to expanding this system? Why should they waste resources spending time on this?

    Also this community would rather just downvote than actually have a discussion. Engage with me instead of downvoting me this time, stop downvoting things you disagree with, this isn’t reddit. I’m contributing to the conversation and you have an opportunity to explain the reasons behind this

    Edit: thank you to all the people who took the time to answer my question

      Instead they should force any phone manufacturer to integrate matrix in the SMS app, that would really benefit the user most…
