"additional encrypted data" makes it sound like it's encrypted to keep your information safe, when it actually means "encrypted so you can't see what's being sent" and that "only Apple (and people/governments Apple shares decryption keys with) can decrypt it." And what does "additional encrypted data" even mean? I'm guessing it includes a thumbnail. It could include a list of people you shared the image with and their home addresses. The point is, you don't (and can't) know.
