So to me this paragraph seems a bit out of place. Okay, thanks for letting me know. I've included it because many people feel that encrypting this part of the meta data is a good idea and should be done for average users. (As Christoph wrote Donnerstag 09 Dezember 2021 17:10:29: | For me the encryption of the subject seemed to be an advantage because | the subject is some kind of meta information and meta information can | say very much about a person. ) This clashes a bit with the confidentially improvement somebody may get using a transport network that is not controlled by one entity and by multiple indepentently implemented clients. For this I believe that all users need to be aware of what is meta information and what is not. My hypothesis is that people can deal with this in daily non-digital life already, like considering what to talk about or display in a public or semi-public place. Anyway, next time I'll check that paragraph, I think how I can make the connection in a better way.
