This is why the only way forward is open standards not owned by anyone, like SMTP.

  When you have a duopoly they just ignore them. There were plenty of open standards that Microsoft just ignored for the longest time. Lawsuits took years or decades. Companies this size buy congresses to ensure laws don't get past demanding things like this. And lastly, the average person is ignorant to why we would need things like this. Some days it's rather depressing to think how most people would just gladly sign themselves up for slavery.

  Try setting up a SMTP server for youself. You'll instantly get added to a spam blacklist.

    To be clear, you don't need to run email servers yourself just to use email which is an open protocol. There are plenty of providers, even if you steer clear (as you should) of the big monopolies of gmail and microsoft. But to address the specific comment, > Try setting up a SMTP server for youself. You'll instantly get added to a spam blacklist. I do and no. I run my own email infrastructure, including delivery. Works just fine.
