    What it won’t solve is the color of bubbles in iMessage, which marks Android users with green messages instead of blue and has led to a rash of teen bullying.

    This is both cruel and asinine, meaning it’s probably true. I’m wishing for karma in these situations.

      green messages instead of blue and has led to a rash of teen bullying.

      Why is this asssertion always second hand. Is there really any such bullying?

      I only know my kids:

      • had to be told why there is sometimes a different color
      • mainly use other chat tools like WhatsApp (yes, we’re in the US)

      This really seems like a non-issue made up and kept alive in the media

        I just remember being a stupid, petty teenager. It could be bullshit, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true.
