I am not a cryptologist, not a lawyer, and only a marginally capable software engineer.

But I think we've had the option to send personally encrypted end-to-end messages for a while now. (Open)PGP anyone?

So instead of using Signal, or Whatsapp, or whatever and depending on their client-side-encryption (and possible server-side-decryption) of private messages, how about plain email using standalone user-encryption.

Two things may come of this: Google will stop "interpreting" my email messages, and laws like these stop mattering very much.

Of course, 5th amendment (and its siblings in other countries) still apply...
