WARNING: Do NOT ignore #Gmail's new #AI scanning default settings. 1.8 billion users automatically opted in to allow Gmail access to all private messages & attachments to train AI models since June 2024.
Here's what happened:
1. Gmail enabled "Smart Features" by default for ALL users without clear notification.
2. They tied basic functionality like spell checking to AI scanning (i.e., if want spell check you need to accept full email analysis).

PGP is not the solution.
Ditching Email as Communication is the solution.

Distributed Messenger-Services
There is e2ee planned from the design on.
It ist possible, as Matrix for example shows, that this works.
And it's a question about clients, how you can show the messages.
An open Protocoll (as SMTP and IMAP and POP3 also is) is the base.
Email-Protocolls are from a time, where the customers know each other personally... at this time security was NOT an issue...
