These are generic platitudes that are not very useful. Obviously you can’t consider whether some random guys data is interesting when you are capturing it in an encrypted state. You just capture everything just in case. And who knows, a way might suddenly appear to decrypt all of it and then you won’t be happy if you didn’t capture it.
- brigandish 5y agoYes, knowing that any data captured cannot be decrypted until after I’m dead is definitely generic as I don’t know anyone who will live long enough for decryption to happen in their lifetime, do you? If not, then you’re wrong about it being a platitude because you’ve given absolutely no reason how that data will be useful, other than ”who knows, a way might suddenly appear to decrypt all of it”. Maybe they’ll also invent a time machine but I’d prefer to stick to the realms of reality rather than sci-fi when assessing risk.
