Like SMS and e-mail are universal open standards, consumers should demand the same open basic messaging across platforms

Like SMS and e-mail are universal open standards, consumers should demand the same open basic messaging across #whatsapp #telegram #messenger #imessage and others to allow choice and freedom of communication from walled gardens controlled by Tech Giants.

This will make it easier for users to change between services without losing contact with friends and family. Right now users feel locked into a particular messaging service operated by the big tech companies and it is very difficult to leave.
