The Google AI itself just informed me that Google can ask me for ID if it suspects that I may be under 18. Does anyone know if this has already happened to someone? I have important accounts that I need my gmail to log into. What email provider do you recommend that I use instead? I’m aware of tuta and protonmail but are they reliable that they will not one day shut down the way Skiff email did?

    The most reason I see for it getting dogged on at all is that the CEO agrees with annoying orange on some things but it hasn’t bled into the product whatsoever… but mostly that they are kind of just becoming the new Google in creating this huge suite of software. That’s all connected through one account though. It’s still substantially better than Google in terms of privacy and security

      At least they’re based in a better jurisdiction where you need to get a warrant before spying.

        And it’s e2e encrypted so there’s not much to give them besides metadata and payment info if you didn’t use the anonymous payment methods
