Google is adding support for sending #e2e encrypted emails for Gmail enterprise users
The feature will be easily accessible through the Gmail interface and will not require the use of any additional software or special configurations
Support for encrypted emails has already rolled out this week for emails sent in the same org.
Gmail users will be able to send encrypted emails to other Gmail users in the next weeks and to any email address by the end of the year

2025 marks the year in which officials start to understand the importance of #encryption!
Following the example of 
CISA, the Swedish Armed Forces have issued a new directive “FM2025-61:1” requiring the use of the #Signal app for calls and messages whenever possible
The decision underscores the increasing need for end-to-end #e2e encryption in the face of growing cyber threats and state-level surveillance

Ever with that you and a friend could break out from DMs, have a quick realtime chat in the browser, and be assured that it was E2E, ephemeral, and completely deleted when the last person leaves the chat room?
Now you can!

Check out the code and run it yourself.
It's #E2E chat in the browser, ephemeral, everything is stored in memory, deleted when the last person leaves the chat room. Set up as many chats as you want, send files up to 4MB in size (images and zip files work) everything streaming over using the web #cryptography api.

Update:
Proton removed their response (link below) from Mastodon, seems they realized it exploded into their face.
Update 2, Reddit post from Andy Yen today: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i2nz9v/on_politics_and_proton_a_message_from_andy/?rdt=42738 (text in responses below)
Original toot:
After I had given #Protonmail the benefit of the doubt for one board member making inconsiderate and alarming statements on #MAGA #Trump, they have doubled down officially:
https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
I therefore consider this official opinion of Proton. Focussing on one aspect and completely ignoring the bigger picture of a luming fascist period in the most militarized economy of the world is just inacceptable. Proton just could have kept their mouth shut, but they decided not to.
Thanks for revealing yourselves and happy to end my subscription, I won't support a company like you until you do better @protonprivacy

I see questions about chat, communication, and forum solutions often enough that I figure I should write a descriptive post of several options to keep around for recycling. Since I don't know your exact needs I will describe three options here. Two options are very modern and has a lot of features and the third is very retro and simple text-based forum software with some cool privacy and federation features.
Delta Chat is a email-based chat app. I can use chatmail servers or email servers. It is end-to-end encrypted. (https://delta.chat/en/). If your correspondents have POP/IMAP/SMTP email accounts they can use DeltaChat.
Delta Chat supports group chats and in-chat apps that you can create. It also now supports audio/video calls however they require using a link-based service.
If you want video and audio calls through your own XMPP server, or just private chat, XMPP is the way to go. Movim is a very mature server application for managing a social and chat network based on XMPP protocol. (https://movim.eu/) Movim allows you to federate with other servers similar to how Mastodon servers federate, and it has more features not available in Mastodon, including video conferencing.
Movim has chat, blogs, chat rooms, and even screen sharing support.
If you want a public readable text-based forum without video or audio calls then Rocksolid Light is an option.
Rocksolid Light is a NNTP server with a web forum front end: https://novabbs.org. You can run a private or public node, and even a private or public federated network.
Rocksolid Light has several themes included in the distribution. Here is the same server software running with a very different front end theme: https://news.octade.net (username: 'guest', password is 'guest123' reversed)
You don't have to federate your Rocksolid Light server, but it you want you can federate it. If you federate it, you can send encrypted BBS mail messages between users on different domains. You can also compose encrypted PGP/Mime messages in a newsreader and post them encrypted to a newsgroup for that purpose, so your encryption keys don't have to reside on the server.
The bonus with NNTP is that users can read and post using a dedicated newsreader client that is threaded and has filtering and very compact message threading. You can also download all new messages at once and then read them and write the replies while offline.
Movim is a very highly developed option that includes everything including the kitchen sink, so if you want to grow into audio and video conferencing and federate blogs, it is a superior option. Movim has a very modern interface compared to Rocksolid Light. The advantage of Rocksolid Light is its old-timey simplicity for text-based discussion threads.

I can only add #messaging for which there is #Signal #encryption as #PGP alternative, and #email which cannot be truly #e2e encrypted.
Which other domains are there for which PGP is used for encryption and there are no suitable replacements?
I understand that use of PGP implementations is still widespread, and replacing them will take developer effort and time. But I think the alternatives are available for all use cases.
zirkusbahuroopi (@bahuroopi@zirk.us)@slcw@newsie.social @santiago@masto.lema.org
My impression is that #cryptographers and vulnerability researchers recommend NOT using #PGP for any purpose whatsoever. For example, the Latacora post I shared earlier recommends replacing PGP with
#MagicWormhole for sharing files
#tarsnap for encrypted backups
#Signify or #Minisign for package signing
#libsodium for encrypting application data
#age for encrypting files
I think the idea is to minimize attack surface by using purpose-built tools.
