Are Encrypted Email Solutions the Answer? (Tutanota, Protonmail, etc) + QA

Many of my followers use encrypted email solutions and though I have nothing against these companies, I wonder if you, the user truly understand what you're trying to solve. Perhaps you need to examine your email procedures more carefully.

I'm the Internet Privacy Guy. I'm a public interest technologist. I'm here to educate. You are losing your Internet privacy and Internet security every day if you don't fight for it. Your data is collected with endless permanent data mining. Learn about a TOR router, a VPN , antivirus, spyware, firewalls, IP address, wifi triangulation, data privacy regulation, backups and tech tools, and evading mass surveillance from NSA, CIA, FBI. Learn how to be anonymous on the Internet so you are not profiled. Learn to speak freely with pseudo anonymity. Learn more about the dangers of the inernet and the dangers of social media, dangers of email.

Thank you for the information and training you provide. I've learned a lot about internet/cell security from you, and I've implemented all that I feel comfortable with doing. I've also bought a de-googled phone and a PI WIFI Router from you. I've been following for a few years now. I don't exactly understand why person(s) unknown feel a need to constantly criticize your information, either use or choose not to. Keep up what you're doing, I certainly use the information and felt compelled to let you know. Cheers from Ocala, Florida

I figured the general thrust of this deep dive would be to understand both one's threat model and partitioning. As you've said in previous video, email is, on average, inherently unsecure so not a preferred way of communication if one wants increased privacy.

As you said, I think that it's usage will gradually drift to more secure intradomain usage, especially with free options available. I've recently started using simplelogin for the use of email aliases for more of that partitioning. You and Naomi Brockwell teach a lot of overlapping principles in terms of aggregating privacy preservation. I've thought about, if I had a business in the future, having all email communications be in the intradomain manner as to have more privacy built in. Sure users could still cut against such by communicating with the likes of gmail but it's a better, default buffer that's actionable for most.

Thanks for fighting the fight by taking time to delve into such topics.

Thanks for driving this home Rob. Many Normies I know, are uncomfortable with their Normie email services like Google, but have no go to option, and have years of email they don't know how to transfer. If a service like Brax mail had a feature to transfer, encrypt and archive old emails from their Normie email service, and send out notifications to everyone on their contact list of the email change would help many make the switch I think.

I know this is something you've also stated in previous videos on a number of occasions - but I guess it never hurts to repeat it. It's still surprising the number of people that think their privacy is protected with things like Tutanota & Protonmail.

Privacy concerns related to Electric cars could be a good topic for a video

There's some value in not using Gmail. Ok, so 50% or whatever goes to Big Data. But the more people become concerned with privacy or afraid of getting "canceled", the more they will move to private solutions, the less Big Data gets. Partitioning is also good. Running your own server is the most private. Hopefully one day end-to-end encryption on email is the default.

Recommended because I have proton mail which has dubious means of stealing your money. Zero control over stopping payments and big tech is app subscription mad!

TLS is standard among providers, but is not encryption of the actual email contents end to end, but of course OpenPGP and S/MIME are proper email encryption for example under the law medical providers must send secure records over a public network. however its typically not for public use, is not user friendly unless you know a little bit about certificates and how they work with open source software email encryption using pre shared public keys btw recipients.

Wondering, with biometrics, my concern is: if something happens to me and next of kin needs to access my device. Anything I can do to allow family to access? Is there a feature to include a secondary biometric user?

[michaelthomasross]

Do password protected emails in Protonmail stop 3rd parties from seeing the content?

[katehillier]

Big tech using this to push me to big tech surveillance mail like big sugar supermarkets etc.

[christothegreat]

Isn’t there a config script that will harden and encrypt a self hosted Linux mail server - postfix and dovecot ?! And use pgp or gog for all mail that goes out to other servers ?!

[conundrumconundrum]

So, Rob needs to develop a product that is capable of end to end encryption no matter what service is being used to receive the email from Rob's service. Easy pezzy. I'll expect the new service next month~. I guess PGP is capable but a pain.

Has anyone heard of Glenn Meder and the Privacy Action Plan? Is he legit?

[asintonic]

Hi Rob please share that video with us we will watch it on bio metrics please

[Ruzhyn_Ukraine]

How can you be so sure your biometrics does not get stolen? What happens when your phone gets stolen?
