I sent a text to gal I know. Above the sent text is the line "Text Message - RCS". I don't recall having seen that before above any texts, so I whipped out the laptop and began typing. I intended to type, "What does text message-RCS mean". I got as far as "W-H" and the drop down menu suggestion came up with "what does text message-RCS mean". I don't like this. I don't like it one bit.  ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | ||

It's just a messaging protocol. No one is spying on you. | |||

I understand this now. My point was that I didn't know what it was, so I tried typing it into my Google search bar, on my MacBook, not my phone, and got two letters in and Google knew what I was going to ask. That ain't right.
Care to wager? I could have been asking, "W-Hy do I have a rash on my scrotum", or, "W-Hat is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow". But no, Google somehow knew that I was going to ask "W-Hat does text message-RCS mean". You don't find that alarming? ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

RCS is a newer mesenging protocol that is supposed to make texting between Apple and Android easier and less troublesome. Apple uses iMessage which sometimes has problems talking to Android and RCS is supposed to fix that is my understanding. | |||

OK, sure. You're right. You're being spied on. They're everywhere. When you sit on your toilet, they're peepin' your balls. Have it your way. I don't really care. | |||

Google and Apple have opposite business models. For Apple, you are the customer, and they promise to protect your privacy. For Google, you are the product, and they sell your information to advertisers. I've seen nothing to contradict that difference. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||
