What Mouse wizard says is good advice. An alternative email site I use is Protonmail. It’s not based in the Internet gulag, the US, and if what they say is to be believed, they aren’t selling their users email and data like Gmail and other traitorous companies are.
Also, if you have the misfortune, as I do, to be stuck using Windown 10 (which I call Malware X), it tracks pretty much everything you do regardless of wither you have the setting turned “off”. This pisses me off to no end.. I plan on installing a second blank HD in my computer and putting a fresh copy of Linux on it to use as a separate OS. I’ll use MalX to play games, and use the Linux drive to do anything online like forums, chatting, buying stuff and researching.
It’s pretty bleak in terms of privacy nowdays. But I refuse to just accept this situation. I can’t not fight it. I wish you well in your quest for privacy and freedom online @john Park 😉
