The list of things that have to be encrypted 30 years from now is very, very small. I doubt any (many?) people here have contact with any of it. I don't understand your analogy at all, sorry.
- sandworm101 4y agoThe message I sent to my girlfriend last night. In 30 years, when I am running for president, that email/text/signal message might come back to haunt me should anyone be able to decrypt the archived/encrypted copies held by state agencies. Anything that is private today is private for a reason. That reason doesn't automatically disappear over time.
- ahelwer 4y agoThis is indistinguishable from hoarder logic. Such things straight up don't matter on the scale of decades. The US DOJ has a policy of automatic declassification after 25 years.
- crazygringo 4y agoYou do realize that because of #metoo, claims and evidence of people's actions 30, 40 years ago are being judged in the court of public opinion, if not in actual courts? I don't think you've been paying attention to the news. Also the US government isn't a great example. JFK was assassinated in 1963 and all records surrounding that still haven't been released. The idea that people don't care about secrets across the span of decades is utterly wrong.

- charcircuit 4y agoHow does encryption impact #metoo? The person waking the accusation would have a decrypted version of the message and even if they didn't they could accuse without proof.
