In a new theoretical world where browsers can encrypt and decrypt data securely without the server having any idea of content, and where you can solve all the issues around allowing other people you want to be able to access that data, then sure it's a non-issue. I was talking about reality ;)

What if you put a dead body in a bank vault? Would the bank respect your privacy?

Surely there's some line somewhere...

edit: apparently HN thinks there is no line anywhere.

So you're saying if they notice 'illegal content' on their servers, they'd just leave it there?

Yeah I think I'd agree there.

What if the file was "kiddie porn.zip" or "TOP SECRET: asassination details for operation 'kill obama'"

Aren't there some instances where they'd be justified looking at data...
