In a completely unsurprising turn of events, Meta's Muse AI is stealing Apple Messages, past and present, and uploading the contents to its cloud, even if explicitly told not to.

    Your logic makes no sense. Either the partition is decrypted (you’re logged in and can access iMessages) or it’s not. If it’s not decrypted then it doesn’t matter what platform you’re on, you’re not getting access to any data on the drive. If it’s decrypted then it is how the app itself stores things.

    In iMessages case it’s a SQLite db. The same is not true of 1Password for example.

      You said you could get to the messages without the app which gives the impression that it can be done when the app cannot be accessed not only when it also can.

        No it doesn’t. It means you can access the messages without the app. Not when the fucking computer is off. The jump in logic here is wild.

          Putting aside that things like Target Disk Mode and removable hard drives exist, I’m really not sure why you can’t get over the fact that your wording was confusing to some people. Just move on. Just because it doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense.
