We are in an age of shamelessness and self-interest.

There's no story in the world that will get people to stop using services like Whatsapp or Instagram.

The only thing stopping these big companies is potentially setting a legal precedent that interop projects are legal.

They can potentially win such a case as it stands because the targets for their threats are few and far between.

If we as digital humans want to solidify this digital right then we need to have a unified front against threats like this. That means we need to have an OSS union behind which companies and individuals can unify if a precedent setting case ever does come up
