I don't want this.

I think this is the worst idea.

I don't need Apple Message to work with Facebook or Android.

Who wants that? All it means is spammers from Facebook are going to find me on Apple Message. Oof.

Why do we think having government mandating what tech can do, or how tech can work, is a good thing?

Apple has made two dumb decisions in 40 years... the touchbar on the MBP, and all the dongles on the last-gen of MBP. Everyone is allowed to fail, but jumping straight to, "We need government to tell companies how things should work..." No, that's fucking cringe.

This just comes across as super anti-American. "We don't like that American companies doing stuff, let's penalize them!"




> "We don't like that American companies doing stuff, let's penalize them!"

The irony being that the universal messaging app of choice in Europe is made by Facebook.
