True, but I am not making that point. I am simply alluding to the possibility.
Sure, but even unicorns are possible. We're not talking about imaginary things here.

Deep packet inspection has to do with looking for specific peices of information in any given packet, not with monitoring all data that moves through a network. All this does is identify specific types of packets so that they can be dealt with in whatever manner is desired.
We are not in the realm of 'minority report' yet. All I am showing here is potential to establish a baseline. I am well aware of the limitations.
Of course there is always potential, but we're talking about today, and reality. Bad Hollywood movies are not a very good source of information about those things. It would probably be to your benefit to admit that you just don't know what you're talking about.

I very much doubt the likelihood of there being any record of CKA existing after even the next century. Whenever CKA disappears from the internet, there may be cached posts for a few years after, but most of the data will be gone.
Anthropologists from the 1960's would not gain as much detail on a fossil as a modern day equivalent. Why is that? The bones are the same but the tools and techniques used have been refined as well as the practices used to more effectively catalog information. The same will hold true for this as well.
Fossils and information on the internet are not really comparable. Once something disappears from the internet, it's gone. There is no way to dig it out using special tools, it just isn't there anymore. The data may be on a hard drive somewhere, but if that hard drive is not connected to the internet, then it cannot be accessed from the internet.

I would say about 99% of what was on the internet fifteen years ago, if it has not survived to the present, is now forgotten and unretrievable.
Currently I would say yes, but never say never again. Nothing, least of all knowledge, is static.
Then why do you keep trying to argue that it is?

So, a website about Pokemon from 1997 is a national security issue? Let's be realistic, a great deal of stuff that's on the internet is not of any particular import to most people who are using the internet.
One mans triva is another mans world. Who are we to judge what has value?
Do you really think a website about Pokemon from 1997 is a national security issue?
