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.
