Privacy seekers rightfully bad-mouth Google and Microsoft. Yet I don’t see the slightest trace of fedi chatter about things like:
- detecting whether an email address is hosted by Google or MS
- snail mail issues and snail mail generally (pretty much no one took notice that a whole country pulled the plug on postal mail)
- getting proof of delivery without paying extortionale registered letter prices
- getting ignored because corps/govs who receive snail mail cannot be bothered to respond via post
- how to align addresses in windowed envelopes - reusing windowed envelopes
- what email services deliberately block MS and Google servers
- onion-only email services with no clearnet addressing
- mail clients that flag inbound messages with whether Google or MS were in the loop (by doing a header inspection)
- using GDPR art.17 to get your email address removed after finding that a sender uses MS or Google.
etc..
Am I the only person in the world who refuses to send email to an MS or Google recipient, or give them an email address?
