Breaking news! It’s now raining cats and dogs! No . . . wait, Google is just planning to implement E2EE. I just thought the former occurrence was more likely than that latter. Yeah, so google is now implementing E2EE. That’s a surprising bonus for the privacy committee. What do you all think, you think this is actually a step forward or will it just be a repeat of apple’s “E2EE”
Tbh email sucks from a security/privacy point of view. The protocol is stone age old and has not aged well. PGP is a security joke (compared to decent protocols).
This might be a bit hyperbolic, but you get the idea. I think that the email spec should be redone from the ground up. I know it’s not going to happen tho.
I definitely agree. From what I understand about email security it’s more of a safety net of security right below the tight-rope. What needs to be done is we just need to build a bridge instead of making everyone use the tight-rope.

Only the biggest email provider can determine the course of the email protocol. As once one big provider adopts a new protocol it creates a domino’s effect on all the others for many reasons (compatibility, privacy, security)
