I'm willing to drop my GMail account.
What I need is an imap access, no app lock-in, and a good privacy policy, preferably with server located in the EU.

I am evaluating @soverin and @eclipso so far, with the latter lokking a bit more feature full but suspiciously less pricy.

Do you have any experience with any of those services? Have you any suggestion about them or other services I may look into?

Thanks in advance!

Finally gave #MistralAI’s #LeChat a real test drive!

Heard about this #FrenchAI for ages, the only proper #EUbased alternative to the big US models. No shady data grabs, no mass surveillance, just a tool that actually respects #EUprivacy laws.

Tried it for #writing and quick #research. Not perfect, but it works very well, and knowing my data isn’t being mined? Huge plus.

Anyone else using it long-term? Does it keep its promises?

We Just DEFEATED EU Mass Surveillance (Here's How)

I've send a letter to the German Representative in the European Union regarding the chat control proposal with reasons why the chat control is a bad thing and that they should vote against it instead of abstaining

Main reasons:
- The chat control breaks encryption and without encryption devices are open to vulnerabilities. Beneath that, sensitive health, financial and other private data could be accessible to bad actors
- The chat control is prone to false positives which can lead to the identification of legal content as illegal which puts citizens in risk of becoming involved in investigations

Oh joy, the EU has finally found a way to make your private messages as private as a public bathroom 🚽. Who needs #encryption when you can have government-sanctioned eavesdropping? 🙄🔍

ChatControl wants to scan all your private messages

The EU is pushing legislation that would scan all our private messages, even in encrypted apps.

Tell the EU: Don’t Break Encryption with Chat Control

The EU’s Chat Control law would scan private messages and weaken encryption. Sign Mozilla Foundation’s petition to defend privacy and protect our digital future.
