The mobile standard setter, GSMA, and Google have said encryption will be coming to RCS, but there’s no firm date yet.

GSMA, please don’t come up with yet another poorly designed encryption standard.

The IETF is already working on Messaging Layer Security (MLS), please work with IETF and adopt MLS. IETF have more experience and do a good job at designing secure protocols. And multiple organisations and services are already working on adapting MLS (Mozilla, Google, Matrix, Wire, …)

As an alternative to newspaper and magazine subscriptions, go to your local library’s (website).

My library card allows me to access a bunch of newspaper and magazines online, and cost me just a very low yearly fee.

There are PFAS in products used in drilling for oil and gas.

There’s a group which track sites where these are used https://www.fractracker.org/2021/07/mapping-pfas-forever-chemicals-in-oil-gas-operations/

Colorado recently banned them for oil and gas extraction https://cen.acs.org/environment/persistent-pollutants/Colorado-bans-PFAS-oil-gas-extraction/100/web/2022/06

This piecemeal approach, state by state, sector by sector, seems odd and inefficient. If PFAS are dangerous these should be banned nationwide for all sectors.

Same goes for carbon pricing, it ought to be priced and high enough in all sectors, everywhere, to be most effective at curving pollution from fossil fuel.
