Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, and Google discussed stopping privacy efforts

Why are people still using gmail? Go sign up for fastmail or protonmail and pay them $3-5 a month. Both support custom domains. Is your privacy really not worth that much?

Don't forget that email metadata and content is available for both sender and recipient, and even if you are using a different provider, most people are on gmail, and most businesses are on either gmail or outlook.

Which is exactly why more people need to switch to other providers (:

$0 is infinitely less than 0.01$ and not merely as a truism. This is, unofrtunately, why the ads business exists.

Take it as a sign that people care more about User Experience and Convenience than privacy.

Nice to know for my next startup.
