I still use plaintext email without images so every so often I get one of those emails (required by regulation, I think) telling me they are going to stop unless I click a link. If I want to keep getting it, I reply and tell them if my reply isn't enough to drop me because I don't click links (if something interests me more than what is in the email I go to the site and find it) or load their tracking pixels. This is how it relates: I tell them no one knows if I receive [1], open, or read postal mail so why should they know I receive, open, or read email unless I want them to? They can't target ads to you without reading content you consume and tracking you. So, let's rephrase: So what if the FBI reads my mail? So what if the IRS bugs my house? So what if Costco follows my car around to see where I shop? So what if Home Depot flys a drone over my house to see if I use a rusty hammer so they can sell me a new one? In what sense should my digital life be any different because it's possible and easy? Fork them is reason enough for me. [1] certified etc excepted.
