That's nice. Meanwhile, real criminals use Hushmail and Tormail. This is a movement to spy wholesale, nothing more.
If any precedent or piece of legislation disproportionately and negatively affects a certain demographic of a population (let's say those with the means to form their own opinions), while they argue "well it's for everyone's safety", the reality is that it's unjust no matter how you try to spin it.
- MichaelGG 14y agoWhy would you use Hushmail over Tormail + your own PGP? I thought Hushmail's rep was pretty well shot[1]. 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hushmail#Compromises_to_email_privacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hushmail#Compromises_to_email_p...
- eksith 14y agoOH! I didn't know about that. Seemed like everyone who wanted to send PGP messages was using, but I guess I was wrong. I don't use Tormail cause it's painfully slow at times (at least for me) and since I figured they're probably not interested in my plaintext gmail anyway. Stories like this may change my mind. It's not that (mostly) anything I send is PGP worthy; it's just the principle of it.
