I like that privacy is an opt in, while unsolicited advertising,spam and anything that undermines privacy is opt out.

          I feel the word 'encrypt' has lost its meaning.

                Naturally, the Secret Conversation is absolutely separate from any other communication between the two parties. Furthermore, it can only be accessed from a single device and won't be synced across your clients.........All well and good but why all these limitations? iMessage is secure with end to end encryption and has no such limitations.

                  Which implies all our other messages were being listened in to then? At least they are admitted it, indirectly.
