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?

    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.
