How worrisome is this? And what can a normal person do while maintaining normal communications (to a degree) with people they love but who do not (seem to) care

• ramtatatam 5y ago
  My observation is that, sadly, "Normal person" probably does not care... For a long time I try to self-host communication channels that matter to me, that is at least email and communicators. That means support burden, since my family is not technical. Not easy but worth it..

  Switch to email providers outside the EU like Protonmail, but I fear you are right. The main problem of this is that both sides of a given communication have to be outside the EU for this to work.

        Obviously, but that misses the essence of the question.

            You should read up on Google’s “associated country.” I think these politicians will take any excuse they can get, and not limit themselves to people who are physically within the borders of EU countries.

            Isn’t Protonmail based in Russia? Good luck getting them to comply.
