[Cryptography] What ever happened to end-to-end email encryption?

[Bill Cox]

In reality, when a big email provider starts working on e2e email
encryption, someone in government has a friendly conversation with some
lobbyist or high level manager, and it is made clear that congress will
step in with regulations to overturn e2e email if widely enabled.

There may be a middle ground <https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.07841> in the
future.  I know the hysterical folks on this list would hate it, but it
would be better than what we have now.
