    I have to admit, Rob, that when you described your email service before, I never really got it. Until now. I was sure that it would be well-designed, flexible and robust because I've been following your channel for a long time. I respect and admire your commitment to privacy -- and freedom -- for all of us. The only reason I haven't signed up before this was really just inertia. Digital privacy and security is such a big subject that I've found the options dizzying. But email is a fundamental place to start. Thank you for all that you do and I wish you good health and prosperity for the new year.

    Great video. This is very similar to the approach I use (although I don’t have _quite_ that many email aliases). I really like the idea of being able to create aliases on the fly (without logging into my email) by appending a hyphenated word. The only downside I see to this approach is that it’s pretty easy for spammers/data miners to get my main email (just delete everything before the hyphen).

    From the legal side of the equation, the U.S. has MLATs with pretty much every country making it easy to obtain evidence from a foreign territory and use it as evidence in a U.S. District Court, even if the evidence obtained in such territory violated U.S. laws and the BoR.
    Only a handful of countries don't permit evidence to be removed from their territory and used in a foreign jurisdiction by way of blocking statutes (France), or by operation of law (Switzerland). The EU has the strongest privacy and data protection laws which is where you would want to maintain an email address.
    Other ways to prevent evidence (emails) from being introduced in another jurisdiction is to motion the court to take judicial notice of Art 17 of the ICCPR. It protects the right of every person against the arbitrary or unlawful interference with their privacy, family, home or correspondence.
    For example: if COUNTRY A collects email evidence from COUNTRY B in violation of Art 17, and that country is a signatory to the ICCPR, a court would have to take judicial notice of the violation and exclude the evidence, if the exclusionary rule applies, e.g., U.S. (Mapp v. Ohio) and Canada (s. 24 Charter of Rights).
    When sending email, insert a "privacy notice" at the footing which places any third party or government entity on notice with respect to any unauthorized collection, interception or use of such email. Accordingly, if that email is introduced in a court of law, you can raise privacy arguments, including international treaties which afford privacy and data protections.
    For example: "This message along with any attachment is private, confidential and subject to applicable privacy law and treaties relating to the collection, use and protection of personal information, including, but not limited to Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Its contents may only be viewed or read by the recipient named above. It cannot be copied, intercepted, stored, archived or disclosed to any third party, entity or agency. If you have received this message in error, please delete it and contact t he sender immediately."

      Creating an effective privacy notice for your emails is important to ensure confidentiality and set clear expectations for recipients. Here’s a sample privacy notice you can use:
      This email and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed. If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution, or copying of this communication is strictly prohibited. If you have received this email in error, please notify the sender immediately and delete it from your system.
      Please note that the information contained in this email is privileged and may be subject to legal privilege. Unauthorized use of this communication is prohibited and may be unlawful. This email and its contents cannot be used in a court of law without the express written consent of the sender.
      While this notice can help communicate the confidentiality of your email, it's important to remember that the enforceability of such disclaimers can vary by jurisdiction. For highly sensitive information, consider additional security measures like encryption.

      Proton has a very good article describing the country's that agreed to sharing data after WW11 abd then adding additional countries after that.
      I don't remember the exact name but Switzerland is not in that agreement. I use Proton Mail just because I have for probably 3 or 4 years. Rob has opened my eyes to alot also and you really have to follow everything to a T.
      I want a Brax phone but I still use maps and such so it seems pointless.
      I also use proton VPN and hook.up through Switzerland for privacy. I am still stuck with gmail also because the spouse won't totally switch.

    The hyphen is allowed with any email. It is also a trick every hacker is aware of and makes allowance for it. That to me is not a great alias because one can identity the actual email address.
    Proton allows one to create aliases in advance or even on the fly once the suffix is setup.

      To be naïve, guillble and inexperienced in cybersecurity.
      To support Rob Braxman Tech's not necessarily by influence ; but by being knowledgeable, educated,and well-informed about caring about privacy whenever we're on the internet.
      I don't care what anyone negatively thinks,says,and/or blindly believes in whatever propaganda MAGA FX companies, conglomerates, and corporations worldwide always do.
      There will ALWAYS be people who don't care about privacy whenever they're on the internet as well.
      That's THEIR problem.
      FYI : Google can easily read our emails. Our choices. Our videos.
      Gmail is not encrypted,and they're like sending postcards....where anyone can read them.
      THEY'RE NOT PRIVATE.
      Unless anyone has a degoogled smartphone or smartphones, don't expect privacy if you all have iPhones and Android smartphones.
      Don't ask me why.
      It just IS.
      The so-called U.S. Privacy Act,KYC laws,CAPPA,and what not aren't there to help protect our privacy.
      They're there to make it more difficult for us to practice privacy whenever we're on the internet.
      That's how it works. Anything that's free is not private.
      Any normie smartphone is not private.
      Any Android smartphone that doesn't have F-DROID is not private.
      Degoogled smartphones are definitely one way to ensure that we (they) have privacy ANYWHERE in public.
      Whenever we're on the internet.

    If they were based in the UK they would be forced, by Law, to change this description as it's misleading.
    The other problem is rented servers for VPNs. In the UK, ALL DATA in and out is logged, by Law. If not by the VPN, by the host company. That's why a lot of VPNs will not have UK Nodes.

      @@rutherford5497 Unless it was moved to another folder (deleting 'usually' moves to Trash) its not likely. Trash folders on some email clients and some providers have rules where contents are permanently deleted, usually after a few days. Any backups beyond that would require contacting the provider to request data from another backup though I wouldn't expect much to come from that if it isn't a serious legal issue or government request.
      As a technical side note, gmail doesn't actually use folders and uses tags to choose where messages are represented. A message can have multiple tags to appear in multiple folders but it is the same 1 message on their side. Local email clients likely download+store each tag variant as separate copies of the message so your local storage space is higher. 'All mail' is just a special tag that is additionally on every message. If you didn't, try checking the other folders to see if your message was copied/moved there by mistake.
      Less likely to help now but for future options, email clients may be able to move or copy messages to local storage. Anyone with access to the email server doesn't have the ability to control your device's local storage too but you won't have those messages if you move to another device (unless you have a backup or synchronization of that data, local or cloud backup).
      Gmail, among other providers, usually offer email protocols of both IMAP and POP3. IMAP is where messages are kept and managed on their server and your device only keeps enough information to present the contents while POP3 is intended to transfer it to just be on your device. If you use multiple devices then you want IMAP or you will have a headache trying to set something up to make accessing messages available from all devices instead of the first that read a message. With POP3 messages are downloaded and then deleted from the server so the first device is where the message is. You can delay or disable deleting the message with POP3 but for multiple devices you will then need to delete a message from each device separately as there are now multiple copies.
      If you ran your own email service then all of this is in your control but is a lot to stay on top of to have it actually work. An inbetween is that you could run your own IMAP server with another tool that that schedules to download messages from your provider POP3 style to this server and then have it give IMAP access for multidevice management. For sending you would want to still use your provider's outgoing mail settings+server. If you want mobility then you need to setup port forwarding (at least with IPv4) and if your IP address changes regularly then you need to setup domain name with a dynamic DNS provider (or keep updating your settings in every client whenever it changes). Some routers don't let you use your external IP address to access the internal servers from within the network and some do but have a setting that may disable that. You won't get new messages ever until after the scheduled download runs but you could setup an IMAP connection that sees new content to activate the download too. Once this headache is all done you should now have a much faster responding server than gmail, hotmail, or yahoo are natively and final mailbox quotas of how many messages + the combined space they take up is not limited by them (single message quotas still apply). Some of the best spam filtering is also only available for email servers so that is now an option too.

  • @WoodytheSingIng

    Hmmm, BASE64 for photos and other binary data, but you can't use BASE64 to encode an encrypted package? Seems you could and thus the content of the email could be protected.

    • @mirror1766
      @mirror1766 15 днів тому +1

      Content can always be encrypted; you should verify your email client encryption does so and doesn't make basic mistakes like only encrypting cleartext while leaving html copy unencrypted or its inverse, attachments get encrypted, and other unencrypted content gets added. If you encrypt your message separately (in whatever format) and only provided the encrypted stream to your email client then you know that data within wouldn't be leaked but your email client has more to add before the total package is an email.
      Email headers cannot be encrypted so what address the message comes from and goes to is cleartext. IP address gets at least to the server and depending on the server and delivery system it may be included in the message. The subject like is a header and cannot be encrypted though I recall encryption plugin Enigmail for Thunderbird (before thunderbird built in encryption and modified plugin language) would replace the subject with a message that it is encrypted and would rewrite it from decrypted message content on the fly; not sure if that was a standard or just a proprietary implementation to work through that issue.
      Some providers tamper both with email content (hotmail) and headers (gmail) so what you and your client originally send to it may be modified by the time it goes out the other end.

      A VPN just moves the initial point of trust from your internet connection provider knowing what email provider you talk with to your VPN provider knowing what email provider you talk with..Most local service providers and VPNs log traffic and share that data with governments, often without requiring formal data request through official legal processes. Traffic to and from gmail server will be encrypted so what you actually did there is between you and Google but with Google both you and your data are their product that they sell (or just give) to their actual customers. If you didn't encrypt the message content before you gave it to Google then Google has it and headers cannot be encrypted so they know who is talking to who. Google has that same information whether you reach them from your service provider or from a VPN. The final recipient and servers between Google and the final recipient 'may' get header details from before Google or that may appear to them as the first hop. All unencrypted parts are accessible along that way by all of them and again headers cannot be encrypted (though some hops may just see Google and the destination talked to each other instead of see the content, depends how those two exchange traffic). Anyone telling you VPNs did better are either misinformed (common of non-tech youtubers + promotional spots) or something predatory/malice is going on with that information source.

When you send a message the 'from' and 'reply to' parts are just text and could be set to anything but setting it to another provider's name or invalid domain name may make some messages not deliver and some services like gmail replace those details with your google account's details if different. I'd like to know if any email clients make sending emails and replies will make setting the from field to the alias automatic or easy as modern clients usually bury the 1 entry in their settings in non-alias form.

      Always assume 'yes' to all involved in handling of your message from you to the destination recipient. If you can trust an encrypted provider and you + the recipient are on the same provider then it changes from a definite 'yes' to a 'maybe'. Removing such access points requires replacing 'email' with something more secure, but incompatible, in case tighter access restrictions are needed.

Rather than being an american company and residing in America as well. At the very least it would make it more difficult? But then again if they really wanted information they could get it no problem. I have nothing to hide but at the same time I won't give up our rights under the guise of security. Really the only threat lately has been the Biden administration (or lack thereof) something bads going to happen involving either an EMP or nuclear missile.
      Bidens mental decline was already really bad during his inauguration, I just seen video of his inauguration speech he had given and he begun to say about "nuking" and then stopped halfway through. Goes hand in hand with this so called missing nuclear material out of new jersey. Can almost bet that there's going to be a false flag nuclear or EMP by the deep state. It all adds up and of course they had to give little hints about it along the way before they actually committed another false flag. These people are old and have everything they could ever dream of having. Theyre almost dead of old age and probably don't want to die alone so they're going to nuke a giant part of America, possibly New jersey. A huge explosion like that with so much destruction they've never seen it before in real life. Plus they're almost dead of old age, will be more than likely arrested once it's revealed the level of evilness they all share. So it's only logical that they'd create a diversion and it would have to he a big diversion because nobody believes the lies the legacy media spews to brainwash the public anymore into believing that they're actually the good guys.
