Yea in a sense it will be a win, but it will up the stakes. A lot of people with get scammed. A lot more than right now.


Disagree. Adding signed communications as the default to replace email's completely nonsense zero encryption model is not upping the stakes. Email is the most successful federated software in the universe, but it's fucking time to get some encryption and authn.

Yea, lol, what was I thinking!? It’s not like my granny uses TLS ECDH SHA1 right!? Oh, wait, everyday she does? The tools adapt; email has never had to.


the tools will only adapt when a large number of people have got burnt

as always happens


Why would they? If actually implemented it will be a few checkboxes behind a prompt next time they login.
