If you pee in a cup of someone else's pee, you destroyed evidence. That is what publishing DKIM keys would do. A flood of fake messages to taint and destroy the ability to validate the would-be truth.

THE PEOPLE WHO RELEASED THE DKIM KEYS WOULD BE GUILTY, YOU COMPLETE DOLT.
I didn't claim a crime was committed... you did, you complete dolt.
Evidence doesn't imply a crime... you complete dolt.
If someone peed in a cup to get tested for evidence of something, and someone else peed in the same cup... that evidence was destroyed. It can no longer be tested to form any conclusions. The potential for evidence was destroyed. no crime was committed.
A victim used to be able to prove they didn't send a message. A leaker used to be able to prove someone did send a message. Those evidentiary options no longer exist. They were destroyed when the DKIM keys were made public.
No one is auto-disappearing messages. You are just not understanding.
Evidence that used to exist no longer exists as hard evidence. It isn't "hidden"... everything is still there. With secure DKIM justice can be served. With public after the fact DKIM, a shady lawyer claims the message could have been forged. Would-be hard evidence no longer exists as it can be painted as possibly forged.
Destroy: transitive verb: to put out of existence.
Because the DKIM keys were not made public, and a message sent from their account could be confirmed to be authentic.
If the keys were public, they could claim forgery. Regardless they could claim their account was hacked, but they couldn't deny the message was sent from their account.
By making the DKIM keys public, you are converting solid evidence of something that was said into something that was either really said, or someone else pretended that they said.
> Being gay is not a crime, and yet people can be blackmailed with it. It is very easy to open yourself up to blackmail by perfectly legitimate activities.
Option 1: DKIM keys stay private... "That email was just a joke, I'm not really gay"
Option 2: DKIM keys go public... "That email was just someone else's joke, I'm not really gay"
Not really a difference, and with option 2 you can't prove you didn't send it (as far as you can prove someone didn't crack 2048 bit RSA and use that power to concern themselves with your sex life).
Being able to prove a fascist dictator who was killing people for being gay, was secretly engaging in gay acts themselves, might help your cause of protecting gay people.
If you pee in a cup of someone else's pee, you destroyed evidence. That is what publishing DKIM keys would do. A flood of fake messages to taint and destroy the ability to validate the would-be truth.
