For me, owning my own email domain is far more about control than privacy. I currently use some MX and SMTP trickery to forward all of my email to Gmail, effectively using Gmail as my 'email client' - but because the domain is mine, I can change that without too much headache, unlike if I were just using an @gmail.com address.

>police warrant-less access to Ring cameras... and then stream their online gatherings live on Twitch Streaming a public event on twitch vs on-demand warrentless police access to on-prem cameras? Am I missing something or are these two things not just not in the neighborhood, they are on different planets.
>Am I missing something or are these two things not just not in the neighborhood, they are on different planets. Amazon owns Twitch. I think OP is highlighting that the EFF speaks out against Amazon's privacy practices while simultaneously supporting Amazon financially. Edit: "I think..."
This gotcha-game is tiring. People don't have to like Amazon to realize that they and YouTube are the only practical game in town for free live streaming.

This is like saying I'm a hypocrite for using crosswalks if I also believe that our cities shouldn't be dominated by cars. If it's true, it's not true in a way that's interesting or useful. It doesn't suggest my views are insincere or without merit. Maybe my views do suck, and maybe the EFF sucks too, but you're going to have to do more work to establish that than pointing out that we're imperfect beings living in a world that may thwart our intentions. You'll actually have to engage with the substance of the argument and the facts in dispute, and make the case that there's a deficiency there.

Are you offering to pay for them to host their own streaming solution and volunteering to handle technical support for users who have trouble with it? This gotcha-game is tiring.

How do your have your outgoing mail configured? Up until recently Gmail would let you send email from another domain, but they seem to have shut this down.

And your second statement is false; other orgs have successfully had online gatherings on BBB, for example.

It’s pretty hard to distinguish spam accounts by domain. They skip domains regularly. Much more often than actual humans. If your spam filters are only able to filter by domain you might want to find some more sophisticated filters.
I could certainly see that being the case, and if you can block the whole domain and whitelist the few contacts you actually have, it probably could work decently well.
