The article I feel is missing several points. Using riseup with dropbox for example seems to be the wrong way to do it. The problems we have with e-mail are due to e-mail itself. Traditional E-mail (whether it's delivered over SMTP/TCP/IP or UUCP or whatever) was not designed with privacy in mind. As hackers, tinkerers and makers we need to design and develop more resilient communications systems in the wake of this and clearly define what it is that we're protecting them from. Trying to find a country in which it's marginally safer to host a standard e-mail system in which there's no encryption is a bit like re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic. I'm hoping (if my submission is accepted) to discuss this in more detail at 30C3 and Securi-Tay 3 in December and January, and provide a proof of concept that shows some ideas on how we can address specific threats.
