At some point, FaceBook, gmail, or some other instant messaging platform will be hacked and its data leaked, probably ruining lives of thousands of people. I like iMessage for that reason -- Apple doesn't see my messages. I don't know what's happening with my email on Google's servers, or my instant messages with friends on chat apps for example, but I assume the data is stored for a long time, even if you delete it. Just today there's news about a dating website being hacked and private messages leaked - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12008234 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12008234 That's with a smaller site, it's only time before one of the big boys are leaked.
