There is literally nothing wrong looking at what you're doing on a program or OS. You all are just paranoid manchildren

>If your data is going thru the internet, someone will spy on it or pretend to be microsoft or the government.
>Or someone in the government or the companies will be paid and corrupted to sell your data.
This is pure paranoia.

Breaches do happen, but the real problems with this sort of thing are completely different.

Yes and you crying about muh liberty is just being an autistic man child. You contribute nothing and only hold us back

>They still have the metadata which is reasonably enough to determine the contents.
no it's not

Considering where people like you want to take the world, we desperately need people holding us back.

People like you are a danger to freedom and liberty. You will be the first people to swing from the gallows.

Nigga please I work with sensitive information.

>i-its paranoia you guys!
>i swear this isn't happening

Yes it is. Especially in a court of law.

Sources and examples of it being used to criminally prosecute please.

I don't want people to know that I'm gay

There's no need. Once they have a suspicion they can just plant evidence.

Yes, most of the cases is just sheer stupidity that happens over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Do you actually want to have your personal data stored on some shitty open to the internet SQL server that is one injection away from spill your everything?

It happened in syria, where people were sent to jail after communicating with ""enemys of the state""

>Syria

Jesus fucking Christ.

We already know James

>it happened with their corrupt government so it won't happen with out corrupt government
Sure sweetheart

Neither of those replies contains sources and examples of meta data being used to criminally prosecute. It's just a couple of people making statements.

That's why it's stored on servers backed by companies with billion dollar reputations on the line and not protonmail running out of someone's basement.
And there's nothing stopping protonmail from suddenly turning off encryption and selling your emails directly.

Is anybody going to actually provide evidence that metadata was used to criminally prosecute or are you all just going to keep making bullshit statements without providing any evidence for the claims you make?

How about you provide evidence of a company leaking that someone's gay publicly to the world after reading his emails.

Equifax is a company with billion dollar reputation.
Actually, want to have some fun?
Check: haveibeenpwned.com/
This site will test your username and email against several lists of leaked data and tell you what is already available to the criminals about you.

But it's not.

You don't have a choice for whether your information is on Equifax or not.

That does not answer the question.

The statement was

>They still have the metadata which is reasonably enough to determine the contents.

Implying that metadata alone is enough to determine the contents of an encrypted email.

When told that it isn't. He went on to claim

>Yes it is. Especially in a court of law.

So would someone fucking post some fucking evidence that metadata from encrypted emails was used to criminally prosecute someone in a court of law? Or shut the fuck up and stop spouting nonsense.

>officer his guy received an email from this address known for distributing CP
>oh drat it's encrypted, I guess we can't ever know what it could possibly be!

That has absolutely fucking nothing to do with the topic at hand. Fuck off.

Hello my fellow British citizen, i got some grave bad news for you!
I'm in possession of a vast amount of data about you, and if in 24 hours you don't deposit 3 mere bitcoins to my wallet, i will reveal to the british government that you have 2 metal scissors, 15 metal knifes, 2 televisions (yet don't pay the television tax) and used a VPN once to access a pornographic site, instead of getting your proper pornographic license.

...

Yes it does. If our information isn't blatantly being sent out to everyone but is instead stored safely in a company's server then it doesn't really matter desu

You're a fucking moron. Either provide evidence to back up the claim you made about metadata of encrypted emails being enough to criminally prosecute, or shut the fuck up. That was the claim that was first made, so address that before trying to change the fucking subject.

The reality? You fucking can't. Because it's bullshit.

A lot of you are a bunch of know nothing know it all cunts and talk a lot of shit about shit you know nothing about.

Nobody cares that you suck cock. You're not special. But if you want to dress in spandex and have a parade, go ahead.

I never said that metadata was enough to criminally prosecute. It's enough to add suspicion giving authorities the power to find more evidence or plant it. Learn to read.

>A lot of you are a bunch of know nothing know it all cunts and talk a lot of shit about shit you know nothing about.

Jow Forums in a nutshell. Actually Jow Forums.

>your current government has been voted out and in its place is an extreme political wing or religious fundamentalism.
They have access to all your previous history - Now what?

They go after the ones who use protonmail first because they are the most suspicious. They don't have time the scan through the emails of gmails 3 billion users. They covince the operator of protonmail to set up a honeypot on the threat of death.

>implying gmail isn't pre-scanned already
>implying Google wouldn't sell you out happily go stay in business
>implying protonmail gives a fuck because they're in Switzerland

If you are American, you have no liberty or privacy to begin with.

There would be too many false positives in the data even if it was scammed. However, nothing changes the mind of people quite like a good old crowbar.

That's the situation people are in with the cambridge analytica thing. I guess they never realized that people they don't like would also have access to this data or that some day there would be people in government they didn't trust.
