In practice this will only affect services provided by large entities like Facebook. If you encrypt your email on your own device there is no way they can make entities like GnuPG add in some sort of mandatory pre-screening system.
This question comes down to who or what controls the software on your device. The very existence of the proposal implies that the user of the device does not have this control. That is the real fight here.

- vaylian 5y ago> In practice this will only affect services provided by large entities like Facebook Which covers a huge percentage of the private communications on the planet. That should not be overlooked. It takes at least 2 people to communicate. What are you going to do, when you have to communicate with a non-technical user who has a gmail address?
- LinuxBender 5y agoThis may not work for everyone. If I must email documents that I do not wish Google to see, I call the person and say "The password to that 7-zip file is fartbubble, all one word, lower-case." I can put a text file in the .7z file that has additional context that would have been in the email body.
