No one uses iMessage in Europe anyway. I don't know anyone who uses this in any significant capacity.

To all the naysayers: if the claims hold up this will be super useful for some industries. Example, I worked at a human genomics lab for diagnostics. By law we were supposed to retain raw data for a whopping 120 years. With a couple terabyte per individual for a WGS, the storage and backup costs were very much non-trivial.
Europe is dozens of countries, each with their own laws. So which ones are you referring to?
This is stupid.
