That’s the reason we have to still use fax machines right?

I know there are ways to do encryption like PGP on your message directly or I think email sent over TLS? But that isn’t the default right and that’s why I can’t send a picture of my license to the insurance company directly over email?

      We have that already in Belgium. It’s been a while. It’s used to authenticate for government services or sign stuff. Why the hate?

        trusting the government with certs to access data they’re providing you == good

        trusting the government not to listen to every email and website you ever visit and then not use that data to lock up dissidents. == bad

          The same could be said about all central certificate authorities… In the end trust is always contextual I guess.
