Quote:Anonymous, secure email addresses solve this problem for the most part. The problem is that while the email provider’s encryption will most likely protect your messages from interception, they can still read whatever you send. That’s where a technology known as PGP comes into play. Allowing you to take control of any email text you send to a destination on the Dark Web.

The good old PGP.
In my view, anyone who's been (dedicatedly) In the computing scene for years, should be well aware of PGP and It's functionality.
