Call a spade a spade: if iCloud Backup is insecure (and it is), then say iCloud Backup is insecure, not iMessage. Your stance on this is FUD because you don't respect the semantic boundaries of the systems you are discussing, and so anyone who decides to truly listen to you and internalize the things you say leaves with a broken mental model rather than an educated stance :/. Every single person who reads what you say "iMessage, now backdoored for the FBI" who decides to stop using iMessage (which wasn't even insecure to begin with) and does NOT decide to stop using iCloud Backup (which will be insecure even if the user is using Signal, along with Signal's iOS product flaw that attempts to circular file your messages, as messaging is but one of myriad things a user does on their phone) is someone you have failed by teaching them the wrong lesson.
- sneak 6y agoI think that iMessage is simply a feature of iOS, same as iCloud Backup. They can't be installed or used separately, they are a single atom. A single atom with message plaintext escrow enabled by default: a backdoor. By your reasoning, would "iOS is insecure" be an accurate statement?
