Wow. So its being with sensible leadership in a tactical type of way. Man. What must that be like.

One thing that would be annoying about being famous is assholes pretending they are sad about your passing.

So is someone going to have to look through all the pictures posing with the peace and heart symbol?

I still want something thats guaranteed for life and recoverable so your life is not upended if a company goes belly up. its just to important now.

Im not suggesting it be the only source of email just a guaranteed source that won't go away and allow for more secure email from the government. people can still go crazy on whatever email provider they want but gmail makes up a huge amount and I mean.... I would expect encryption like that. I know folks will say government won't do that but look at our mail system and how its setup. It can be done. The safest way to safeguard an item from search is to put it in an addressed and stamped envelope.

I mean that is fine as long as its secure and 100% recoverable by the user. I don't see those two being possible without a central authority.

Yeah if it can essentially work like email but given another name that is fine to me. I think it should at least have a box that can accept emails from whoevery for general correspondence if you need it but yeah I sorta want it to be different for the security it should have. I just figured there would be like an internal government network part with encrypted connections for that communication and then like the secondary one for banks and such where the institution that use something like a vpn to that area and again is all encrypted and then like a public box that is citizen beware type of thing. I have mentioned this before and I think someone mentioned the denmark thing sorta. At least it only makes one more thing you need to log into as opposed to like a million different agencies and institution portals. There is one eastern europe country too that I recall was doing a lot of things online and I assume maybe they have something like this.

Not necessarily. As long as their is public access to networked computers like at the library. Which is common in the us.

I was actually thinking libraries would make sense to. Problem is it would be good for something that can stick with you for life no matter where you move. USPS for the us would be the only thing I ccan think of with offices that wide spread.

Yeah but the crap cheaper online options would still work its just that in the case of an account being taken over or such there would be a way to recover that is definitive in person. Also personally in the modern era my experience with government entities has been great but that just be my state and city. Also in the past it was not so great but they have greatly improved. Like you can make appointments at my dmv's. Also apples to apples I found they have always beat out private. Its hard as their are so few comparison points but like usps has always been a better experience for me than fedex or ups.

you know that is the thing. If we expect the populace to deal with large portions of their lives virtually then they need that support. Support the private industry does not give and quite frankly makes less secure. In addition its part of something that has always been a government task. identity. birth, death, marriage records and basic id.

I still feel that certain must haves on the internet should have a government option. Email is something that is very problematic to change. Its your home on the internet. Its the core of the internet identity. I think everyone should have a right to an email address that is already secured for government communications which don't have to leave the internal government system. They don't have to allow for vast storage as the user can pop email off and hold it locally. It should be setup to work with heavily regulated industries like banking so that communication is considered secure. I always get flak on this but its like dudes you can still have your proton account or google or whatever but this would be an email you have a right to but you don't have to use outside of government communications and you should be able to go to the government office if you have issues with it. In the us I could see usps handling if it it was country wide or secretary of state for the state level.
