I mean we have decent enough LLMs and algorithms to classify it pretty easily now, much less the future. Just getting context information on who or what the data is narrows down a lot of what you want to look at.

If that were true, they wouldn't need to store it for ever
They need to store it because the technology to decrypt it does not yet exist.
boy did you miss the point. I know that's what they say, but the GP comment said that pretty much everything you need to know can be found just from the metadata which diminishes the claims for needing to decrypt the data. It's trivializing the value of the decrypted data.
Eh, with the Metadata you can nearly instantly figure out what encrypted data you need to keep for long periods of time for later decryption. For monitoring the plebs metadata is fine, but when you get to things like political targets and the vastly wealthy it's a different story.
