This template is used in the GNU/consensus to describe software projects that do not match the criteria to thwart global surveillance. They present flaws, but they're not actively stalking their users.

List of GNU/consensus Project Types
Type Template Description
Compromised Template:Consensus_Compromised Electronic communication systems that spy on their users, or otherwise do not respect their freedom intentionally.
Broken Template:Consensus_Broken Well-intended systems that can be useful but present flaws or limitations in their architecture or implementation.
OK Template:Consensus_OK Systems conceived to preserve their users freedom and privacy, and will thwart global surveillance as well.

|availability=Desktop, Mobile
|description=
 Electronic mail (email) is one of the oldest Internet messaging technologies in use.
 It was not conceived to protect contents and metadata: [[GnuPG]] solves the content issue
 with encryption, and [[LEAP]] addresses the metadata part.  Still, these solutions require
 symmetry of implementation (both sides need to implement the module.)
|features=...
|pros=
* Mainstream recognition
|cons=
* Advanced usage can be difficult
* No content protection by default (see [[GnuPG]])
* No metadata protection by default (see [[LEAP]])
