I add my voice to this request. Cough up the names.
The americans seem to have figured out how to get change in relation to health insurance. Perhaps people might consider taking a page from the french history books to get some change on this issue.
Alright I want all farmers on a 30km range to join our next “peaceful” protest
The same French of whom more than a third want an authoritarian strongman in power? Personally I would prefer to copy the handful of boring countries where people actually trust their leaders and so don’t feel they need to resort to bloody revolution at the drop of a hat.

However they want to do it, it will undermine a key principle of democracy and a human right: the right to privacy and private communication.
Those damn Chinese and their censorship… oh wait
Just watched a video of Low level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRATnT577Aw
Although this is about the US this is EXACTLY the shit that will happen to this whole chat scanning BS
Some suggestions: Scan, Privacy, Control

Right attitude, wrong solution.
Email is very much not private

Even if you have 100% confidence in your own provider, you also need 100% confidence in every other recipients provider, which is basically impossible.
Protonmail is definitely more private than google or Microsoft, but you shouldn’t hold 100% trust in any provider. Ultimately your data is still on their hardware and they have control of it. Also, as others have pointed out, both sides need to be secure otherwise all that data is accessible on the other side.
You can mitigate it yourself a bit by hosting your own email server, but I highly recommend against that as its a massive headache to secure and basically every provider will reject your messages anyway.
protonmail is CIA https://encryp.ch/blog/disturbing-facts-about-protonmail/
besides the above, their open support for regime change in China is NOT something a Taiwanese company would do. I live in Taiwan and have worked here for over a decade. Executives here try to keep their head down and just make money. They do not champion any causes.
The body of the messages arguably are, but the metadata is not, and that includes the subject line and the sender & recipient addresses.
Then go tell that to all of your WhatsApp contacts, people won’t change apps.
but that’s the beaury of email! people don’t need to be on the same app to communicate with each other!
that arbitrary walled-off garden of whatsapp doesn’t hamper anyone here!
Of course there are alternatives, that’s not the main problem, it’s the adoption by people not familiar or interested in tech.
I have zero such contacts. For the moment, I tolerate Signal. When it falls I’ll switch to self-hosted Matrix.
Email is unencrypted.
Not if you use pgp
Or Proton/Tuta.
It will not E2EE for you.
