I find the concept of "Illegal Content" conceptually questionable. Authorities do not care much, I assume, if you possess illegal content. What they care about is if you share illegal content.
Say you have a pro-democracy pamphlet on your hard-drive in China. If they find it they would imprison you no doubt but they don't care so much to look for it, and it is hard to find if you never share it with anybody.
SIA provides private storage so if your only crime is possessing illegal content but never sharing it with anybody no big deal (I would assume). But if you share it then SIA can not protect you because the exchange must happen somewhere outside of SIA.

- galaxyLogic 7y agoI am sure. It would be an interesting case for the Supreme Court. Did you do something illegal by allowing SIA to store encrypted data on your hard-disk not knowing what it was?
- camjohnson26 7y agoWhich is stupid. If I were a member of a foreign government I’d use sophisticated hackers to plant that kind of content on anyone I didn’t like. Automatic jail for life.
