Yahoo secretly scanned customer emails for U.S. intelligence: sources

[Raven]

I don't trust any of them, least of all our govt. Thats why everyone should learn pgp. Its easy after you download it and use it once or twice. Just put the message on the clipboard, click encrypt or decrypt and enter your password. It does all the heavy lifting for you.

Then use those email services and the only thing they can read is the subject line of your message. Use tor or a vpn and they don't know where you are, but cookies will give away some info. Use tor or vpn to register and they know nothing.

Its really sad the way our govt has intruded itself into every aspect of our lives and spies on us constantly. If you question them they say its to stop terrorists or they say its for the children. Yeah right.

Grandote:

Do you have a link you could either post or send me by PM regarding pgp? I am definitely interested in learning a way to easily use email encryption. I have a yahoo.com email addy used for some sensitive stuff. Too late to do anything about that since this scanning hack has been in place since 2014.

I'm tempted to dump my yahoo email and change to gmail, but I'm sure the snoops have open access to Google as well.
