ABT554I don't think that matters much because as soon as you connect your phone to the car it shares the decryption key. Otherwise connection would make no sense because you couldn't read your messages yourself in the first place.
Michael Gemar@ABT554 @davidnewman @evacide If that’s so, I can’t imagine Apple is happy about this wholesale data scraping — their brand is built significantly on caring about privacy.

Even though I admire the declaration that “privacy is a fundamental human right” on Apple’s website
I have to wonder about the depth of Apple’s commitment to privacy where business relationships are involved. The company just declined to renew Jon Stewart’s show in part because he wanted to cover human rights in China.
@davidnewman @ABT554 @evacide I’m a fanboi as well, but I think Apple primarily sees privacy as a right for its *customers*.
@michaelgemar @ABT554 @evacide Apple has many customers in the PRC – not so much for them.
