I find it somewhat unlikely that a society will put the effort into resurrecting me just to do bad things to me. There are cheaper and easier ways to make humans. I suppose in the unlikely event that an evil AI accidentally killed off all of the humans it could torture, it might be cheaper to revive me to torture than to build a human from scratch, but it still seems somewhat dubious.

I suppose a UFAI with a goal like "Make all humans happy" might resurrect me, to increase net happiness. Still sounds better than being worm-food, overall.

I think it's more likely that the cryonics company will just lose funding/be outlawed/suffer a natural disaster than something like the above, but in those cases I won't be around to know the difference anyway.
