      Ew.

      Think of it like this:

      • no encryption - sending a postcard
      • client to sever encryption - dropping off the postcard at the post office instead of the mailbox
      • end to end encryption - security envelope in the mailbox
      • read receipts - registered mail

      Hopefully you’re less wrong now Mr/Mrs legislator.
