I guess I should have said that Apple isn't reading every message to try and get customer data, like Google does and freely admits. They do it on their searches, Gmail, and everything else they are involved with. Travis On 2/25/2017 12:05 PM, Josh Reynolds wrote: That's bullshit. iMessage is

"Green complimented iMessage for using “end-to-end encryption” dating back to 2011, but unfortunately it appears as though Apple uses the term quite loosely. True end-to-end encryption would keep messaging conversations between only those participating internally. Apple’s protection of iMessage

I see nothing in that article that says iMessages are stored unencrypted on Apples servers, which is what you initial stated. I do see it state: "If a hacker were to take hold of the key server, they would in turn be able to intercept messages as they are being typed — those that have not

That's bullshit. iMessage is not encrypted on Apple servers, which the messages pass through. This is why iMessage isn't considered true "end to end" crypto. There have been several papers written on this. On Feb 25, 2017 1:00 PM, "Travis Johnson" wrote: > Nope... iMessage is
