Why isn't there an end-to-end encryption standard for email so that we can get rid of fax machines? - eviltoast

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?

    Also playing back the sound of a fax can reproduce a fax, with the right tools.
