        Any of my comms through these means have no security implications anyway. They would have gone through unencrypted sms before this, so idrc if discord or the feds would know my very limited plans with friends and family. I just care that my already unencrypted messages won’t take multiple hours to go through soon

          Well I just bring it up because part of RCS is encryption, but there are a lot of asterisks and one of them is that RCS with Apple will never be encrypted.

          It’s one of the main problems with RCS is that whether or not the chat is secure depends on the implementation and is dependent on sender and receiver, unlike iMessage where you know that when the chat bubbles are blue, your chat is encrypted.

          IMO inconsistent encryption is worse than no encryption at all, due to the false sense of security.
