Is fax ever secure?

[CountValentine]

I need to send sensitive information, obviously they only accept fax

They have a free trial: https://ww2.efax.com/
There is also CV's fast and secure fax service.

Isn't that just for Shabbos and Holidays?

It has been expanded to 24/7.

In my experience, all the eFax websites seem to be operated by the same company. Didn't try them all, but the one's I tried all looked exactly alike. And they all seem to have a free trial but it costs money to do anything significant.

I can't comment on how secure they are.

Apparently more secure then email according to these people.


Ended up emailing to someone else to get done.

Gotta love it!

There goes your security

It's like those people who don't want to submit credit card info online so they call the vendor and read it over the phone to an employee who submits it online via the same exact website

If there was social media in the 1930-40's, would the Holocaust have been avoided or would have it been globalized?

Id guess mostly avoided.

My grandparents in Hungary/Czechoslovakia would have known better what was taking place in Poland at the time.

Would it have helped? Or would it have galvanized the locals to join the movement sooner?

Keep in mind, Jews were not loved all over the world in the 30's and thr Nazi party had supporters in virtually every country.

Let's even go with the darker side but what do you mean by joining the movement? Would other nations transport Jews to the death camps on their own before they were even taken over by Germany? I think that's a stretch, and it's not like Hungary wasn't terribly antisemitic before 1944, they joined the Axis in the beginning of the war.

How about Kristelnacht or the yellow stars or the general dehumanization of Jews? Would gangs of Brown Shirts be roaming countries around the world terrorizing Jews? Would Hitler Youth have become a globalized movement?

The refugees from Poland were scorned when they recounted the atrocities they have endured. Real time reports might’ve helped. The American Jewry could’ve been more sympathetic. It’s all talk anyway….

I gave it a shot but I'm not really good at hypotheticals.

There's no answer. The question came to mind as I see social media light up with attacks and protests all over the world. I just wonder what the 30s would have looked like with social media. Would we have been more educated? More moral? Or was the hate the same then and just didn't rise to the surface because people didn't have the same comfort in numbers as they do now?
