Probably because they're from the U.S. where SMS is still used extensively for messaging.

Friend of mine played enemy territory competitively. They turned the graphics all the way down so grass and smoke didn't get in the way of their field of vision.

It will create more animosity towards Putin from his own people and weaken his position even further.

Not condoning what he did in any way, shape or form, but Dutch TV adds a little more nuance not covered in foreign press:

It was explained that this happened in the UK when he was 19, and the girl was 12. The sex was consentual, but in the UK sex with a minor is always considered rape, because a 12-year old is never considered mature enough to consent to sex. He served his sentence partly in the UK, then was transferred to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, consentual sex between a minor and an adult is "fornication" and illegal as well, but the punishment is less than for rape. He is now 30, and has a family. In the interview he says he is a different person than the teenager he was 11 years ago. A grown-up with a family instead of a teenager. The thing that bothered him more than being booed (he says he blocked it out at some point) was that at one point people went to attacking his volleyball partner and his wife and child.

I can't find the full interview online, but here is an excerpt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXyNaldd0qg

Is anybody writing this down? Sounds like an excellent roadmap to me.

The problem with rcs is that it needs to work without a data connection like sms. For that to work, every single mobile operator needs to support it and route it. For that to work they need to work together. The problem is they don't and there are different implementations, some don't support it at all. Even when they do, the phone needs to support it. Google is now at a point where they have rcs capable messaging on every recent Android version. Apple is now also integrating rcs into iOS. They are circumventing the operator problem by enabling rcs over wifi or your subscription data. But that's a workaround, because it requires data, while sms just requires a cellphone signal. Until operators start working together to enable and relay rcs messages, Google and Apple habe the monopoly by having rcs routed directly to their messaging apps over the internet instead of directly to the device like sms does.
