>Email is hard to secure

Email is trivial to secure. Just need to be able to exchange OOB one RSA key.

But being able to securely communicate with "[email protected]" don't give you much when LEO knows that you are communicating with each other.

Nowadays you need security, anonymity and usability - which are often with contradicting requirements.

We're talking past the difference in email, the protocol, that can be secured - and email, the worldwide communication network, that is largely insecure[1] [2]
