But again, that's likely me being overly pedantic/overly concrete in my thinking. That being said, there are situations where you would want to "revoke" information you shared willingly and intentionally with someone (think in the case of a messy breakup or divorce, where that information could be socially or legally troublesome if presented in a certain way) - encryption is still weak to a "plaintext recording" attack in that case. Anyway, again, thank you all for the informative and civil discussions X) Have a good one.
