If you read GP's comment, it conflated these two issues as if they both applied to iMessage. The point is that you don't have to opt out of iMessage to avoid being reported to the authorities. You just have to not use iCloud, a system that has many excellent competitors. You can also roll your own. This is not as big a deal as if one of the major messaging systems were snooping through all your messages and photos. That is what GP made it sound like.
