Ew.

Think of it like this:

  • no encryption - sending a postcard
  • client to sever encryption - dropping off the postcard at the post office instead of the mailbox
  • end to end encryption - security envelope in the mailbox
  • read receipts - registered mail

Hopefully you're less wrong now Mr/Mrs legislator.
