Interesting that O2 UK is moving management of their RCS Messaging service to Google.

Is this a move to circumvent the Online Safety Bill by moving responsibility out of the UK?

@neil I suspect more related to VM/O2 merger stuff. I know VM run some stuff in Google cloud.

I doubt moving servers would get around OSB obligations.

@intrbiz I don't know. AIUI, VM have off-loaded their mobile activities to O2 so VM's use of Google shouldn't be relevant.

My thought was that if our Government wants to play hardball over E2E encryption then Google could give them a harder time than O2 could.
