No idea what you are talking about.

Both SMS and RCS are free.

Also, when data is so cheap it makes no sense to use SMS. It’s 30 euros per months for unlimited data where I am currently located at.

You guys also have that green/blue bubble mania thingy, where you pretty much dehumanize anyone using non apple device in chats.

Sounds pretty backwards to me.

RCS is pretty much implemented by all the major EU carriers.

We still use WhatsApp and Telegram though. We are not as backward as the US folks in that regards.

The EU should force apple to support RCS.

But GDPR is the European thing, and Threads isn’t even available in Europe.
