Hello, sorry to bother you all, but I wanted to know if anyone knew of a non-invasive email provider if possible with high privacy settings ? I know, I am asking for the moon

My "non-serious" email adresses got burned one after each other (hacked, then other provider kept asking for my phone number).

Seriously they are annoying with the phone numbers I DON'T WANNA GIVE MY PHONE NUMBER TO AN INTERNET CONGLOMERATE GRAAAH

So anyway, what do you think about all this ? internet privacy and all ? I'm curious about other people's opinions since I'm a privacy nut (ghostery, noscript a separate email adress with fake name for the smartphone since I can't avoid google there ^^)

If you want something good you need to pay for it. Gmail is "free" because they make a profit from your data.

These are all pretty good: https://www.lifewire.com/best-secure-em ... es-4136763 or if you are sufficiently competent (or spend 30 minutes on google), you can host your own mail server.

Internet privacy is valuable but takes a lot of time and sacrifices. The biggest thing you can do, you've already done - use script blockers to stop services from tracking you. Personally, I don't care enough to do much beyond using script blockers. I'm comfortable understanding the exchange - I get to use services such as Google and Facebook for "free" because I'm paying them with my data.

A bigger concern to me is when companies like Facebook provide "internet" in places that don't have access to it, such as Nigeria. https://qz.com/333313/milliions-of-face ... -internet/

"Galpaya, a researcher (and now CEO) with LIRNEasia, a think tank, called Rohan Samarajiva, her boss at the time, to tell him what she had discovered. “It seemed that in their minds, the Internet did not exist; only Facebook,” he concluded."

Scary stuff. Which is why net neutrality is really important to push. We don't want our internet providers to control what we can access.
