Evidence that government regulation of big tech works.
Of course some regulation is better than other, etc. but this is a big win for that side.

Sure, but I mean in countries like US.
China bans all kinds of stuff within their own borders already and nobody bats an eye...
Yes, the shortage is long over. You may have to wait about a month or two for the latest one, but otherwise they're plentiful.
Has someone's show been cancelled over criticisms of Israel?
Isn't this a legal requirement in the EU at least, to let you download your data?
Open source is important for services with end-to-end encryption, because you can make sure the client actually encrypts the outgoing data, is not sending your private key somewhere, and won't break that security at some point in the future.
Of course this particular service cannot even have end to end encryption in the first place.
"Trust me bro" is always the security concept of any service where you don't control the client - that includes regular iMessage (you have to trust Apple) and Google's RCS (you have to trust Google). They can always instruct or update the client apps on people's phones to start doing something they weren't previously doing.
That being said, I would not trust some random sketchy company with something so important. Even if you trust their intentions, you cannot trust their competence in preventing breaches. Stuff gets hacked and leaked all the time.
On the plus side, some of those patents have already expired.
I mean, 30% is what Apple charges for regular apps and all in-app purchases/subscriptions too.
Can you post the app?
It's a bit funny because people on Lemmy seem to viscerally hate all online advertising and everything connected to it, yet here many of them are, lamenting the end of a company caused by not enough ad revenue.
If all the employees are located in the highest cost of living area in the world, it kinda makes sense.
Gotta pay those insane housing costs somehow.
