   While I’m at it, antitrust is the wrong vehicle for #BeeperMini because the courts are in a bad position to fashion remedies for complex interop. We need interop regulation overseen by an expert regulator, which actually could be the #FCC. Title II is a fairly good fit for E2EE messaging! People think about Title II as the regulatory hook for the phone system as the basic communications network, but often forget that the phone system was also a point-to-point app. https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/22/doj-and-ftc-looking-into-beeper-controversy/

     The devolution of #BeeperMini into increasingly absurd bubble-gum-and-chicken-wire architecture is a good illustration of why you shouldn’t send technologists to do a policymaker’s job https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/21/beeper-mini-jailbroken-iphones-rescue-imessage/
