NSA logic: Don't encrypt your data or we'll keep it until we decrypt it.
So, they will keep it until they can figure out its content ? Fine, so why make it easy on them by giving them plain content from minute 0 ?
I don't see why would anyone able to encrypt his/her data not to.
The problem is not about them keeping encrypted data but about them labeling you as a potential bad guy once you have encrypted data.
- antocv 13y agoIndeed that is the problem, we are now at the point where you are marked a target for trying to keep some privacy between you and your friends, when you try to keep a third-party, the government, at bay your citizenship rights are temporarily suspended. "Deine papiere bitte" on the streets is not that far away. Actually what we have today is worse, self-censorship and suspension of rights.

The only thing missing is automatic enforcement of the many petty crimes we commit each day (but you will be threatened with them if the gov't needs you to inform against someone, or simply wants you to plead guilty to some crime).
