Forcing communication about illegal things to be done verbally is highly inconvenient for both Musk and Abbott. They have to take the time to connect which limits the other work they can be doing. They need a private time and to find a location to avoid someone overhearing their communications.
Not an impossibility, but definitely makes everything just a bit harder.
- notahacker 1y agoIf Elon emails "call me", Abbott picks up the phone. Doing illegal things over email is already risky from the point of view of not being able to redact when supplying it to an investigator. The people actually inconvenienced by "public by default" are government departments trying to run a fair selection process involving detailed technical audits, or to provide support to companies that don't wish for their business plan to be public information. That's just a new hurdle that people proposing stuff which is completely legal have to cross when deciding whether to share any information with any public official ever.
