Thats true of the first hack, the photos. But I dont believe that is true for the 2nd, the messages.

Most likely, you're being sarcastic, but just to put this out there, that would be like me publishing an app where you just write text into a box and click submit and I promise in the app store info and privacy policy that submitting it just causes it to get erased, but the information is actually being sent to all your worst enemies.
