I mean, you're not wrong there, but personally I'd rather have my private conversations in the hands of Verizon than Facebook. Facebook actually sees the value in the private conversations and tries to monetize it. Verizon, on the other hand, has bigger fish to fry. I'd rather give my conversations to a company that sees storing/processing messages as a liability, rather than an asset.
