exactly. look at whatsapp now for example.
from being one of the most privacy friendly faces of the mobile to being portrayed as privacy invader (i know messages are E2EE). but see the effects. things happen slowly.
did amazon or big tech do the right thing here? probably yes.
did they see that their influence is massive? yes. (they already do know, just stirring up their convictions stronger now)
Is there a chance in future that they might just misuse their powers without anyone knowing it? most certainly yes.
Its a real trolley problem for me as a privacy supporter.

Messages are E2EE, but by default get backed up into your Google/Apple account which are easily accessible by a search warrant, or from a prism backdoor.
