Governments were all against Julian Assange for releasing secret files and information to the world on Wikileaks. Now they're giving all that power to a few absolutely massive information and technology companies. It's a two faced. Assange deserves a trillion Euro payout! The General-user Data Privacy needs reinforcing and ramp up.

Chat Control is illogical and irrational.

Well then, let me give a tip of the hat to another splendid European app @Tutanota The team behind this one is doing a bang-up job, and they deserve a pat on the back. I've personally given their email app a whirl, and they've got a calendar app too. It's the perfect blend of usability, privacy, and security, all without costing an arm and a leg. Absolutely top-notch, and I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a go.
