That’s the reason we have to still use fax machines right?

I know there are ways to do encryption like PGP on your message directly or I think email sent over TLS? But that isn’t the default right and that’s why I can’t send a picture of my license to the insurance company directly over email?

    Sad but unrelated to more reasonable governments providing certificates to their citizens. My comment only applies to citizens of reasonable governments.

      The reasonability of ones government is a treasured thing.

      But do keep in mind, data collected is forever but the amount of reason that a government uses can change over time.

      US States having access to abortion data would have be an absolute non-worry since the internet was invented, just starting a few years ago, it gets people put in jail.

      It’s better to keep government out of my private affairs :)

        Better but unreasonable. What about taxes, administration, health… a functional government is the desired state imho. With some overseen transparency (thanks europe for that) I’m starting to think we’re getting there to some extent for our data lives here. Now apparently not where you’re from… but that would be the problem. Albeit not an easy one to fix.

          Yeah we’re a good coup away from Authoritarian Dictatorship, The solution for that seems to include armament, I’m not looking forward to it myself.

            Yeah not shit that’s the absolute worse. Where are you from if you don’t mind me asking ? Either the world is turning to shit or I’m getting old and it’s showing because it all seems that it was « better before » when it comes to freedom.
