    Who would’ve thought that working with a company that has a terrible privacy policy, a suspicious buisiness model, closed source software, and an idiotic reason for keeping its software closed source would be a piracy disaster???

    Sunbird literally has access to every message on iMessage that you send and receive. What was Nothing thinking when working with them?

    I keep trying think of something fruitful to say about this, but I am truly at a loss for words. Perhaps that’s all that needs to be said.

    …but a phone manufacturer throwing its weight behind one of these solutions certainly raises the stakes.

    What?

    Was a phone manufacturer endorsing this solution? If not, then which one? Which manufacturer are we talking about?

    Why include this comment with zero actual information?

        Apparently they are. I was not aware of that. I’d never heard of them before reading this article.

        Yeah, the article wasn’t the problem. My lack of knowledge was. Oh well.
