This has nothing to do with RCS from what I read on the article. It looks like the UK wants to be able to tell companies to disable security features such as End to End Encryption so that they can view the messages.
Isn’t WhatsApp super popular in the EU as a whole? Like to the point where EVERYONE uses it? What does the UK have to say about that? It’s apparently E2EE, right?
But although it’s popular it’s nowhere near everyone using it… I have about 2 whatsapp contacts and one of those is a mailing list. Most people I know use FB messenger. A few signal… It really depends on who your friend groups are…
