I use ProtonMail as my daily driver for email. I believe that encrypted content with no back door keys, but having who is communicating with who, is a good compromise. I understand why intelligence agencies might need, with court authorization, to know who is communicating with each other. But, content should be absolutely private.
- mytailorisrich 6y ago> But, content should be absolutely private. Content has never been absolutely private and has only become so with widespread end-to-end encryption. This is the crux of the problem and what governments and law enforcement are uncomfortable with.
- raverbashing 6y agoThat sounds like a good compromise and the kind of discussion that people should be having.
- Nasrudith 6y agoIt would be a good compromise alright - in the sense of a blackmailed offical being very compromised. Anonymous speech is important to a free society - the secret ballot recognizes this fact well. The intelligence agencies don't even need to exist. They exist to serve us not the other way around - if they forget it the right thing to do is to give them the old yeller treatment because they will have become a menace to all.
