Exactly.

Besides, this list is open. Anyone who subscribes gets the full firehose
delivered. Plus, the archives are out there, fully accessible via HTTP.
Those who own the government (currently a big chunk of that is surveillance
capitalism) are using this list to train their LLMs. But: how can you
provide a public service other than... being public?

If you don't want the NSA to know you like to make headstands, don't go to
a public place in front of their office to make one.

And -- use Gnu PG. They hate this one trick.
