How is this privacy? I would expect to be able to copy out my encrypted data (still encrypted). Not being able to do so is not a privacy feature.

- dogma1138 8y agoYou can copy the data you cannot extract the encryption key it’s not any different than an iPhone if you don’t have backups you are screwed. This is privacy in fact prettty strong one, like with any security measure usability and availability may suffer however it’s on you to mitigate those risks by leveraging backups which on OSX is fairly easy to do so with time machine, FileVault and cloud backups which are also encrypted. If Apple can not offer a recovery service it is also likely that most adversaries will not be able to recover the data which is a pretty darn good thing to have.
