Is encrypted data at rest belonging to dead people such a problem, that it's worth sacrificing everyone's privacy?

Is the appeal to emotion really necessary? Surely we can discuss the facts without devolving into some kind of "But I want that!!!" toddler behaviour?

There was no emotion, only an accurate description of the consequences of the proposed policy.
I said appeal to emotion. There is no logical foundation for the question. It can only be asked in the context of how one arbitrarily feels about the subject, serving no purpose, and derailing was taking place for no good reason. How you one feels about the subject has no impact on what we are talking about and trying to draw a link between them is completely nonsensical.
