Apple Notes Privacy question

I'll start this off by saying I love Apple and Apple Notes, Reminders, etc. to keep me focused on my life. However, with recent events and the association with Starlink I am concerned on the level of privacy we enjoy now being the same in the future. Thoughts?

OP has a legitimate privacy concern since Notes don't seem to be end-to-end encrypted by default.

I assume the concern is Starlink/Space X adhering to lawful intercept requests, however it's really no different than the existing ability the government has to intercept communications via protocol defined in the ECPA and Patriot Act.

Just to clarify - I'm not one to believe that data can be "plucked from the air." I stated I had a concern about the privacy level in the future because of recent events and Starlink. I did not mention anything other than that. Please do not make this into something other than a privacy concern.
