Great excuse because iMessage servers are already recording.

Personally I think this makes many of the things that Tim Cook claimed differentiated Apple from Facebook and Google much less convincing.
Did you read about the changes they are proposing?
Has any other company responded with anything like this level of responsibility?
I think this shows how much more seriously they take this than their competitors.

Yes, they're dropping retention and switching to opt-in. Because they got caught. Is that really responding with responsibility?
Yes. There was no issue. Then people raised an issue. They responded as requested to the issue.
By your logic companies that respond by correcting mistakes are just as bad as those that don’t.
So you are actively supporting the behavior of Facebook and Google in doing nothing to respond to privacy concerns.

This opt-in is most likely going to be packaged with the "Send data to apple" during first setup. Most people still wont know that it's sending voice unless they actually read through it.
