This is one of those things that could be reversed if there was law<br>
guaranteeing freedom of communications. That really does not seem to<br>
be the way the world is going, however.<br>
<br>
See: <a href="https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/</a> for example.<br>
<br>
I like email (and netnews). You had a copy, the recipients had copies,<br>
and pretty much anyone that had the capability of snooping in-between<br>
had copies. Nobody ever got arround to making starttls mandatory.<br>
Compare this to all the even more centralized, but incompatible chat<br>
systems since, multiple ones that have vanished from the web (g+), and<br>
others that are barely hanging on, like disquis.<br>
<br>
Even with the flight to mastodon and other heavily encrypted home<br>
server technologies, email remains the most common, useful and<br>
malleable public identifier for connecting people to people. I would<br>
like to make it better, for everyone, again.<br>
