They probably sent the threats themselves to justify banning Proton Mail, because they want to destroy privacy and encryption.
Yes, privacy and encryption are always the enemy of authoritarians. They enable dissent
Hopefully that doesn’t go through. This could be grounds for blocking something else like tutanota. Hell, if it works in India other might follow.
I’m surprised that they didn’t use the “think on the children!” red herring yet. They probably will in the future, given that governments (not just India’s, but all of them) have a burning hate against anything privacy.
Can we get away from email?
It’s not a secure form of communication anyway. I want my messages to be e2e encrypted so I know I am the only one that can read them
Congrats, you just invented ProtonMail
Its not encrypted when 99% of your contacts aren’t on Proton.
You can encrypt it for non-Proton users very easily.
Then use Proton Mail
That’s what s/mime does. If it were as easy to get personal certs as it is to get server certs through letsencrypt, everyone could easily sign and encrypt mail.
I can certainly do it anyway, but you’d have to trust my self signed cert.
That said, it’s pretty rare to find relays these days that are not using tls for transport, so there’s that.
