Middle ground: Pay a reputable email provider in a good jurisdiction to provide my email services for a reasonable price. Host my own encryption-friendly mail server, but life is short and I am not THAT passionate. In practice, many my contacts insist on using gmail, so I am not entirely depriving Google of my delicious data by opting out, but I will hopefully reduce their prying, and facilitate other opting out?Īlso why not reward companies with less icky business models by voting with my dollar? Given that I have the privilege of income, I will happily pay a premium to not be a data point for them. Google mail exists and is free, but that is effectively selling my personal data to faceless foreign corporations. My behaviour data is a resource that I will charge a premium for as long as I am allowed to. Threat model: I do not want to give up my personal behaviour data too cheaply to train someone else’s algorithm. ![]() ![]() I would like to be smarter about who does all that network transmission of my email.
