Returning information to users can be a surprisingly delicate matter. E.g. HIV clinics and mental health services (in the UK) are careful about the information they put in appointment reminders. Sure the patient signed up for the appointment, but they don’t necessarily want a voicemail or text message to mention the type of clinic.
- magicjosh 5y agoAgree that returning user information can be delicate. I would think journalists dealing with such a sensitive contact would be more careful, but that's a dangerous assumption. Sure, I can use Tails and Tor, but for someone without a tech background it may be difficult or impossible to use those tools properly. Making privacy-preserving tools and practices the default is way. I appreciate the various guides the EFF puts out on privacy and digital hygiene.
