And pirates, and people sending email to their aunts, and people
making VOIP phone calls to their lovers, and . . .

That's what using the Internet _means_.

I didn't say that.  The Internet moves bits around; that's what IP
does.  You put a packet into the Internet, with a specified
destination address, and the Internet gets it there (or not).

Consent is at a higher level, just like interpretation (though consent
is around level 9).

They aren't anywhere near the same thing.  Why are you comparing them?

Whether or not they are is up to the owner of the equipment providing
the VPN.  (Hint: encrypted proxies are VPNs, and with the current
events in Iran there are a lot of public ones.)

What does that mean?  Information that is mine is public to the extent
I publicize it.

Very unlikely.  Even "president@whitehouse.gov" isn't known by
_everybody_.

And I personally have hundreds of email addresses, each of which is
(or should be) known by precisely one entity.
