Reading this I couldn't help but think that standardised, easy-to-use, end-to-end crypto could have prevented a lot of these cases. No way for the pictures to be intercepted by the law, no way for a "friend" to steal them out of the recipient's mailbox. Of course, trust only goes so far as a teenage boy's trustworthiness, but it's something.
- jcl 17y agoThe reason the friend was able to steal the pictures was because the recipient left his e-mail program open and unattended. End-to-end crypto is useless if either of the ends are compromised.
- enneff 17y agoThat is true, but I would imagine crypto-centric email software would have a timeout feature or similar to mitigate this.
