How is Outlook third party?
First party = me
Second party = Microsoft
Same with gmail client.
- davelnewton 9y agoNo, first party is you, second party is the person you're talking to. They're a man in the middle. They have access to your contacts, your emails, everything--they're a third party in the middle of your comms.
- nvr219 9y agoOK so I guess since I use third party email servers this question doesn't really apply to me. I will say when I have sensitive data that needs to be shared via email I use PGP but other than that I have enough trust in Microsoft and Google... Misplaced? Maybe.
- davelnewton 9y agoMy point was less about whether or not they should be trusted, but that unless you're running your own email server, it's a third party, by definition :)
