HERE IS ONE SOLUTION TO CUT IT OFF:

#DeGoogle phones: https://tuta.com/blog/degoogled-phones

There's different ways to DeGoogle your life. Tuta says this is ONE solution. They didn't make any claim that it is THE solution! - Everybody has their own comfort level and how they need or want to use their phone or on the net. I had no issue with the article or complaint about it. I think they did a good job detailing some different options that are available out there.
Tuta even cancelled my email with them for no reason. Even at that I'm not bitter towards them, but I wish they were at least fair.
