SpaceX bans Zoom over privacy concerns

There is a big difference there though. In transit, iMessage and FaceTime backups are end-to-end encrypted, it's just the iMessage backups on iCloud that also store the key.

FaceTime chats, though, truly are end-to-end encrypted and the calls aren't backed up like iMessages are.

Thank you for providing some clarity on the issue. Apple did not when I read their page here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209110

They merely mention that backups to iCloud happen automatically by default, and not that doing so means the default is that Apple can view and decrypt all your messages.

And, backup is optional.
