iMessages automatically becomes a sms app with every other phone, so everyone with a phone capable of sending and reiciving text is able to contact you. No gatekeeping at all.

„I want people to care more about their privacy so I’m going to give away their data and seriously harming their privacy to tell them that i told them so“ - what kind of mental gymnastics is this?

“One thing to note is they also encrypt the e-mail subject, whereas (for example) Proton Mail does not.” - protonmail does encrypt their mails if you send it to another protonmail address, and skiff is doing the exact same thing.

i wouldn’t be so sure about it. apple strongarmed google with jpgxl support and the european union pryed open their eco system, at least for eu citizens. apple currently positioning themselves on the side of privacy advocates would lose this standing (and many customers who switched to iphone because of it). i know, they could sugarcoat this, but i have a little hope left that they will draw a line on at least the most user hostile stuff.

apple might oppose this to some point, they’re often not in line with google.
