I wouldn't say I'm "okay" with the idea of the entire world seeing all of my emails, but I accept that it is a very real possibility given the extremely insecure nature of SMTP and the other protocols involved in email handling, so I don't send (or request) anything via email that is very private.
- icebraining 15y agoThe same can be said about the pictures: the fact that putting them online is insecure doesn't mean people have to be OK with their provider sharing stuff forcibly. Not to mention that the transport mechanism for pictures on G+ is much safer than email, since it only goes through one server (unlike email, where there's usually at least two MTAs), and all transmission is done through HTTPS.
