Open email ... will it be a game changer?
(www.open.email)
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
No. The problem is not that email is not open, or that open and private email providers don't exist. The problem is that people don't care.
And seeing that this app is not available outside the Play Store, this provider is only pretending to.
I wouldnt say that people dont care. See this example now. Earlier sites were free to implemet all sorts of spyware in their cookies and people didnt know, so it maybe seemd like people “didnt care” but after some new lavs were implemented that forced sites to request permision from the user directly, i saw many people that dont want to click “i agree” and that was good news because to me also looked like people dont understand whats going on so thats why they dont care. But if you ask them directly, when they have opcion to chose thay say no i dont want to allow tracking! So for me i think that we should just explain how to say no. What to do to forbid someone to track you. Look at me i sure didnt know anything abot that, infact anything about computers realy, and now im on linux and prefering open source software…
If they don't understand, it's because they don't care. Companies like Meta, MS and Alphabet make international headlines every day for privacy violations.
