    Don’t chose American tech. Don’t choose European tech. Don’t choose Chinese tech.

    The country/continent of origin is irrelevant. You’re still vulnerable to spyware either way.

    Choose Open Source tech.

      FOSS is the way to go wherever possible but hosting your own email is honesty absurd at this point. I know some people do it but for regular mortals it’s not remotely an option.

        Absolutely. If you have an android phone, i’d always recommend ditching the google play store where possible and using F-Droid instead.

        There is a whole community of people dedicated to the hobby of self-hosting. Email, Drive, VPN, you name it. Sounds like more effort than it’s worth, especially when companies like Proton exist.
