Rouge clients doesn't have access to private chats.

1. On one hand it takes away a nive selling point.

2. On the other hand it feels safer.

3. But then again - as a sw engineer who cares about security - I expect it to fall flat if someone decides to reverse engineer the official client and patch it to store everything to a database.

4. But then again, if they store it to an external db, what is to prevent them from storing random info, i.e. making things up?

5. Finally. If someone really wants to leak your data, what prevents a dedicated attacker from photographing every snap, confidential gmail message etc?
