I see, so for personal machines (including a Replicant phone, though there's
no guarantee the private key can't be accessed from the modem), problem
solved.
So Thunderbird + Enigmail on Tails would need some config on each boot? Too
bad, as if it wasn't annoying enough to reboot from a thumbdrive.
About the "targeted" argument:
Sure but that's socially acceptable encryption (not the kind of encryption
that would attract attention, even though perfectly legal and reasonable).
In a way, all this is meaningless https://www.xkcd.com/538/
But to me, the point is simply to cover as much leaks as possible/reasonable,
to as many unwanted third-party readers possible/reasonable. Which should be
normal use.
I mean if people prevent their emails to be accessed by other people, it
makes sense that the mail provider (and more commercial/governmental
entities) should get the same treatment, legally.
Well, actually I still wonder why I put so much effort into all this. I guess
I consider it forbidding legal but abusive behavior. Legally. Or at least
making it harder to put in practice.
So, their argument that it might increase exposure has some truth, which is
why I have a hard time answering that.
OTOH, which is better: having all my data on diplay but not being on the
radar (in theory), or possibly standing out a bit more, but having very
little of my data on display? Frankly, I don't like option n°1.
