I think he's asking what grounds authorities might have to demand destruction of the information.
Is there a legal pretext for going after information like this?
- cwkoss 9y agoCould the feds POST a confidential JSON blob to an arbitrary server to obtain a warrant to inspect that server's hard drive?
- quuquuquu 9y agoThis actually sounds like a legitimate threat vector. It's a bit like entrapment. You offer something they don't know they want, and then arrest them for interacting with you.
- lovich 9y agoHell, if they could inspect someone's drives based on sending them data it would make all warrants with computers trivial to get. Write a little script that just sends the data and doesn't even check if message is sent successfully, send a classified file to everyone you want to search, and bam you have legal access to anyone's computer at any time. It would be even more of a joke of probable cause than "I smelled marijuana" if the courts allowed it
