Doesn't everyone with 0.5 of a clue know this? The Internet is a public place. It doesn't matter how many passwords you put on anything, what ticky-boxes you enable, /all internet communications are public./ Emails do not have an envelope. They are not letters, they are postcards. Anyone can grab one as they go past and read what it says. This is why email encryption exists. It is why we have PGP and Enigmail and all that sort of thing. It is why people bother with codes and cyphers and encryption. Scott McNeally said it in about 1996: "You *have* no privacy on the Internet. Get over it." Facebook, Twitter, blogs, fora, it doesn't matter. Once you hit "send", it's public. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [email protected] • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: [email protected] • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
