Nothing Google does prevents you from enjoying the end-to-end nature of email. Send it to whomever you want. However the end-to-end nature also allows the endpoint to reject your message.
- loup-vaillant 10y agoWhen the "endpoint" has millions of users, like Gmail, it is not an endpoint. It's a hub. I don't care it is technically and end point, in practice it's highly centralised. It's not like each user chose to reject such and such message. No, Google is rejecting incoming mail for them —in addition to individual spam boxes. That does prevent me from enjoying the end-to-end nature of email to an extent. Oh, and, constant man-in-the-middle spying, which is also not exactly end-to-end.
