Do you self-host your email? I'm not smart or patient enough to do that, so I have to trust someone, unfortunately. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] BehavioralClam@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago If you self-host it, you´re actually more open to lesser vector of attack, since I really doubt you will go into building robust security solutions with your personal IP. That includes local law enforcement or criminal elements just taking your server. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 point 11 months ago Even if you do self host who are you sending email to? It's most likely going to one of the big tech companies. permalink fedilink source parent [+] umbrella@lemmy.ml -1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago The US and EU are tight-knit allies in empire. The US Empire has hegemony, sure, but the EU is still a willing participant in imperialism. They are all millitary allies through NATO, they share data. If you live in the west, the west having data on you is what can harm you. permalink fedilink source parent
