I am trying to choose an email provider, to use with my identifying accounts (like banks, gov ids, etc.). I feel that emails for such cases do not need to be end-to-end encrypted, since most information would already be present with banks, gov, etc.

So I was looking at non-E2EE emails - Mailbox and Posteo.

  • Between Posteo and Mailbox - which one do you use / is better in terms of privacy?

I noticed that both of these are hosted in Germany. With rise in popularity of right wing party, a bunch of stuff around chat control and verification, and even normal German government support for Israel, I was wondering whether I should look for other solutions hosted elsewhere. Or use Proton / Tuta instead?

Also, I am not sure if any of these companies support right-wing or Israel themselves?

Do you have any suggestions regarding this?

        The article doesn’t debunk anything whatsoever. Pointing to the CEO being Asian to counter him supporting MAGA is insane. His posts from the years prior also matter little, because every tech bro, including even Musk, positioned himself as a liberal for years and donated to all the causes until it became more convenient and profitable to side with MAGA.

          But it’s neither convenient nor profitable for Andy Yen to start siding with politics. Not that his political affiliations would matter anyways, as the non-profit is legally required to be politically neutral, which in turn forces the for-profit to act similarly.
