Hello all,
I’m looking to switch over to move privacy focused setup, so far i have a VPN, and will be making other changes. Is there any email providers that you know respect privacy, or how one would do this?
Use end-to-end encrypted email if the people you’re emailing are willing to set that up (not hard, but a lot of people have learned helplessness when it comes to tech), and/or you could host your own email. I don’t think there’s much point to looking for an email provider that “respects privacy” because that’s simply working on a pinkie promise that they don’t read your unencrypted emails. I suppose it’s better if they claim they don’t read your emails, than if they don’t make that claim at all, but beyond that I don’t think it matters with external email providers.
yeah, im hoping thoese who i talk to will use E2EE email, but i’ll be using it mostly for personal stuff. The last two things is a browser, and phone, but the last one might be impossible.
You mean getting a privacy-respecting phone? You could get a Pixel with GrapheneOS as one of the most popular options. There are also a number of OSes and phone manufacturers competing in the privacy-concerned market you could look into. Note that privacy is not the same thing as security, and for security, GrapheneOS is the clear winner.
Yes, i am aware security and privacy are different. I want privacy. A cellphone is not going to fix that, but i really have no choice in that matter because i do need access to a phoneline 24/7 due to having children(call from the school). Ideally i would be using a phone without stock android or no android at all, and running a mobile linux distro, and using a voip provider on WIFI only.
