Good for them. Though it goes without saying email is insecure. If enterprise clients dislike an algorithm scanning their email contents, maybe they should also consider that email generally has unencrypted transit and storage.
- bitJericho 9y agoVery few servers store/transmit emails unencrypted...
- icebraining 9y agoNot that few - more than 1 in 10 emails sent and received by Gmail are unencrypted: https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/saferemail/ https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/saferemail/
- bitJericho 9y agoThat's higher than I would have expected. The question though, is who is not allowing encrypted emails? I wonder if it's mostly just China.
- netheril96 9y agoLooking at the data (https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/saferemail/#region=142 https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/saferemail/#region...). The major Chinese players QQ and 163 do employ TLS, while the worst offenders of security are mostly Japanese. The Chinese government can just ask QQ and 163 for your email such that they don't need to see it in transit. Less work, too.
