Maybe, just maybe..to spread the word and get the people you communicate with most over to the platform (ie get them off gmail). It also has a great inline implementation of PGP that makes it more approachable by the common person; making what some consider cumbersome (using keys , which one? where? did it encrypt?) a simple and guided process.

Until gmail includes a check mark option to encrypt everything end to end for all its users, PGP type encryption will never fly for the vast majority of email users. And it would have to be automatic to the extent encryption would be automatic to those recipients who have chosen the option and no encryption to those recipients who haven't. Most users will not move to something other than Gmail. Accept that.

Well, they're already working on it.

At the end of the day, like you said encryption would have to forced end to end, and invisible to the end user, and even then. I worked for multiple FIs who made a point of sending client sensitive data, encrypted and I spent most of my days during tax season arguing with recipients of said email as to why this was important and why I really should send the same email again, unencrypted.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-um-question-31089594 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 20:22:50 EDT Re: um, question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-um-question-31089290 said by krazyfiend:
