true, imessage and facetime have a long history of indecency and it's somewhat unfounded to assume they're safe now. cloud backups are also very problematic because they contain a lot of sensitive information and are not safely en

i guess it depends on the value of the data whether this tradeoff is worth it. was the data at google recovered or did they abandon the plan and consider it lost?
