This already happened with the industrial revolution. It did make the rich awfully rich, but let's be honest. People are way better off today too.
It's not perfect, but it does help in the long run. Also, there's a big difference in which country you're in.
Capitalist-socialism will be way better off than hard core capitalism, because the mind set and systems are already in place to let it benefit the people more.
And if someone thinks the above comment is wrong, you are victim of the exact same propaganda that makes Russians support Putin. Just on the western side.
RCS only increased the meta-data the cellular providers and messaging apps is selling on you.
They don't care about the content in your message, so e2ee is useless in this case.
They're selling who you message, when, and where you are when you do it. They collect data on which cellular tower transmitted your message. And now with RCS they also know when you read the message.
Which means RCS is just as useless in terms of privacy. They only enriched the data. So it's probably worse.
ITT: People who are scared of things they don't understand, which in this case is AI.
In this case, the "AI" program is nothing more than pattern recognition software setting a timestamp where it believes there's something to be looked at. Then an officer can take a look.
It saves so much time, and it filters out anything irrelevant. But be careful because it's labelled "AI". Scarry.
EDIT: Comments to this comment confirms that you don't understand AI, because if you did, you'd know that this system who scans video is not a LLM (large language model). It's not even the same system in its core.
You're welcome back if you like.
