Comment on US Email Providers - Other then Google, MS, Apple, ...
furrowsofar@beehaw.org 2 months agoI believe in being as local as one can. One cannot always assume that those global data links will be up the way the world is going. Also if you think email security is bad in the US then how is it better to ship data half way around the world. Makes no sense to me. The US is not suppose to spy on US citizens in the US but every thing that passes a border is up for grabs as far as I know.

Nicely put. I seem to remember some government type trying to say it was not spying to record your data and mine it as long as a human did not access it. Kind of a similar thing Google says about Gmail.
Wasn’t it the CIA directory that lied under oath then later said it was the least dishonest thing he could say. He got away with that too.

You can also look at the Patriot Act as another example of the US Government proving it is completely untrustworthy when it comes to the privacy of its citizens.
