This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. You're using a web based email service and you're sending postcards when you should be sending letters. Both this and Lavabit feel like distractions.
- betterunix 13y ago1. You are assuming that everyone understands what "web based" means. 2. You are assuming that everyone understands that email is like a postcard. I have even met technically competent people who were surprised to discover how easy it is to forge email headers. When even people with years of accumulated knowledge about computers carry bad assumptions around, what can you expect out of people with little-to-no understanding of computers? For a lot of people a computer is a magical box that is beyond their comprehension.
- da_n 13y agoI am not assuming and I agree about the magical box, but I have little sympathy for user ignorance and tire of this as an excuse. In the UK we are facing massive internet censorship because the masses of 'computer is magic' users are outraged about Facebook and Twitter posts, and accept filters to be put in place etc My mum thinks it's a great idea. It is complete bullshit caused by utter ignorance and failure to comprehend what is at stake etc. Sorry to rant but I get upset that this is somehow an excuse.
