When you've been observed doing something (esp with evidence), "plausible deniability" falls through.

But when you haven't (eg. if you had your data that way in an Apple Cloud, and Apple was required to provide blanket access to everything), nobody can come and claim you've got there anything other than videos.

Obviously, a sufficiently motivated actor won't be stopped (see torture), but your data is not out in the open.
