Q: Why should I rethink my email habits?
A: Your email address is often a permanent, global identifier. Use aliasing services (like SimpleLogin or AnonAddy) to separate activities and prevent cross-service tracking. Changing this identity attribute will help minimize the linkage between services.

Protecting sensitive metadata so it can’t be used for surveillance
MIT researchers have designed a scalable end-to-end encryption based on mixed nets, public key encryption, and authenticated encryption, that protects the metadata of millions of users in communicatio...
