That motherfucker singlehandedly proved that free speech in the US is a myth.

I played Diablo 3. It was extremely boring.

Statements about Israel in general are not antisemitic because Israel is a political entity, not a synonym for Jews or Judaism.

Claiming Israel represents all Jews is antisemitic, though, because Israel is fucking awful and it's unfair to blame all Jews for it.

Probably because different messaging platforms have different opinions on how to implement encryption, and those opinions are baked into their infrastructure at a pretty low level. If two platforms don't support a common encryption system, the only way to move traffic between them is to decrypt and re-encrypt the data at the boundary between platforms, giving both platforms access to the unencrypted messages.

Mandating a common system for E2EE seems like a good step 2, but just getting them to exchange messages at all is a good first step that doesn't require anyone to change their backend to support a different encryption mechanism.

(Just to give an example I'm familiar with, you can tell Facebook's encryption isn't E2E because you access Facebook Messenger from a new device and have access to all your old chat history. Making Messenger support E2EE would break a basic assumption about how it works and what features it offers.)

Nah, fuck RCS. There is no reason for a mobile carrier to be involved in anything besides voice calls and TCP/IP traffic. Any protocol that requires participation from carriers beyond delivering TCP/IP packets is broken by design. It's like designing a water faucet that somehow can't work without active cooperation from your local water company.
