Applebaum, a tor developer, is i am sure astute enough not to leave unencrypted mails on gmail. he is used to governmental abuse at airpoets etc., so i am sure he saw this coming.
- bdr 15y agoFYI it's "Appelbaum".
- cookiecaper 15y agoThanks. I typed that reply on my phone, so I don't remember if that was an autocorrect thing or if I just forgot how to spell it. Nevertheless, I appreciate the correction. :)
- kragen 15y agoHe can't prevent people from sending him unencrypted emails on Gmail, except by not using Gmail, nor can he force Google to delete them.
- cookiecaper 15y agoIf he's receiving random emails they are probably not important or sensitive enough to be valuable to the government. If he's receiving non-random emails that contain sensitive data, it should all be encrypted. If you do get something important that is not encrypted, you can forward the mail to yourself as ciphertext. You're correct that Appelbaum has no control over Google's retention procedures.
- kragen 15y agoThe government did not request the contents of the mails in any case, but the header information: who Jake was communicating with, and when.
