    I think they’re hated because they’re synonymous with broken group chats and low res photos. Hopefully EU forcing rss adoption fixes these instead of having to download an app to ‘fit in’.

        EU implements legislation forcing Android + Apple to use standards that actually work properly with each other. (they usually spearhead this type of change)

        People using android no longer break group chats or have terrible sent image/video quality when messaging Iphone users.

        With this ammunition gone, teens stop using it to attack each other for their familys (lack of) income. Ie those kids ‘fit in’ better.

            Thats a fair argument; though in this context it’s more about how the teens causing social issues perceive it.

            It’s not the Iphone users getting picked on in schools.
