You are right.

Is it because of Wordpress?

The comment I replied to listed read confirmation as the only essential feature to them, that forbids them to drop Google Messages.

One of the issues they explained when they dropped SMS is that it was misleading to users to have unencrypted communications in an app that promotes privacy over all.

Their implementation will not feature E2E encryption.

I am familiar with the whole topic, but your summary is the best I've found, tackling objectively all the points of the issue.

if that creates problems for other people, too bad, they should just buy Apple too.

I believe this is a real quote from Tim Cook when prompted about RCS in iMessage.

FB Messenger and Telegram are worse solutions, but Whatsapp is really no different from Google RCS. And Signal has almost no downside.

Not ever, unless Google is forced to open it up.

I don't understand how is it essential to know if someone read your message. Shouldn't they reply to you if they need to let you know?

Read confirmation is the first feature I disable on every instant messaging platform. Also delivery confirmation is implemented in standard SMS.

It doesn't support RCS because Google's implementation of it (with encryption) is not open.

It's going to be more and more unreliable as the results it's snipping from are increasingly machine-generated.

Then imagine living without Amazon altogether… impossible

I am talking about landline providers.

And this a problem only in the monopolistic culture of the US. I can't name a single EU State with broadband data cap.

A web crawler is not comparable to an e-mail inbox.

It's blacklisted by uBlock Origin, I don't remember with which claims.

We want the name!
