I don't think you are hearing me. iMessage is already beyond non-private and has several built-in backdoors to ensure anyone who demands access can have multiple avenues to do so.

Whether Congress engages witb this seriously or not is irrelevant. Its a terrible platform and it gives people not only a false sense of privacy, but it is also a gaping security hole in iOS that I can only hope is completey shut down by "toggling" it once its already been forced on you when you sign in to iCloud.

Literally not invested in it, the more attention anf scrutiny it receives, the better cuz its a bullshit thing that has no place for me on my phone and on the phone of anybody who wants to have private convos and not have their chat program be a giant security gap on their phone. Its gotten people killed
