There is a federal privacy law from the 1980s that give the cops a giant loophole to access your emails without a search warrant.

In this video, I’ll show you:

What law has that giant loophole
How this loophole works
How police and government agencies have exploited it
Why Congress hasn’t closed it
And most importantly — what you can do right now to protect your email privacy

No real setting is discussed tho I presume that a savvy user could use pop3 and auto delete later (before the 180 day mark discussed in the video). Still an interesting video on the legal framework of searches around digital services.

We donated to Bernie. The first time. I’ve been getting hammered ever since. And no. Filters don’t work because the emails come from whoever is campaigning using their shit service. So it’s always random like the numbers that harass me via text.

I was told to change my number and email. This was an official response.
