how about the OPPOSITE problem: _anyone knows of any non-EU AND non-US email providers_? with email accounts as the roots of trust for many things, i'd really wanna know how can I get a trustworthy one not-attached to eithern an unstable system (US), or a very overregulating one like the EU juristictions... and ofc, non-CN too

For email and calendaring, Fastmail, although Her Majesty’s Australian government has strong overreach instincts.

Fastmail's servers are in the US: https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000280221-Ho...

Frankly many in the US are over the Trump administration and I expect a massive backlash in the midterms. Do what you want of course but I think the descent of the US is slowing and there will be a return to normalcy after this admin.

It's still the same population that voted for Trump twice. It's the same constitution, the same supreme court, the same parties, the same oligarchie and the same god-king like office of the US president.

Nothing will change with respect to trust after the midterms.

> I’ve always been a happy Mullvad customer. For 5 euros a month, I pay a Swedish company that has proven it doesn’t log any data How did they prove that? Is such proof even possible?

Also based on your reply on a sibling thread, is this a legit question (you expect that there is a way but you're not sure how) or are you just waiting for someone to bite just so you can state your case about proving a negative?

Not sure which thread you're referring to, but yeah, it is a legit question. I genuinely wondered what made the OP state that it's proven that mullvad doesn't collect logs. While I don't think it's possible at all to prove that some software is running on a remote server, or that this software doesn't collect logs, some people try to find a way to do that, for example Signal claimed that one can verify code running on their servers by code attestation feature embedded in their Intel SGX enclaves, see https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/

Do you believe this ? Even if the Americans get out of their zombie existence and get out to vote (on another candidate), I cannot imagine Trump will accept an election loss. (A reminder: The US has had a 24% drop in the Liberal Democracy Index score in just one year and your supreme court is owned)

>The US has had a 24% drop in the Liberal Democracy Index score Yet another index detached from objective measures. >your supreme court is owned The same court that declined to take up Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election?

>The same court that declined to take up Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election?

Yes, that same court. It's incredible how rapidly the legal system has eroded in the US.

...also migrating AWAY from Fastmail (Australian) and TO an European provider sounds like a very bad idea - I'd kind of want both the US and the EU legally away from my coms at all costs (!)

Fastmail runs exclusively of AWS in the US. I looked into this, there are lots of people in forums discussing/ asking for EU based servers.

Fastmail does not run on AWS: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/why-we-use-our-own-hardware/

European here. "Migrating to the EU" is serving a self-fulfilling delusion just as joining the so -called revolutionary forces after WW2 and moving to eastern Europe. The EU does everything to de-industrialize itself and protect its ground by using surveillance tools branded as "child protection" rules. Europeans don't have any tradition in thinking in freedom, in civil rights, in having a state that isn't there to s…

Mate, you need to work on your communication skills. Or just get an LLM to boils things down a bit.

Europeans are so blind to how they are essentially on the same path as the US, the US just got there first.

Most European countries have functioning legal and electoral systems, and more than two parties. On top of that, constitutional courts aren't political appointments. So it would be incredibly hard for a political entity like AfD or RN to gain full and absolute power like the orange has achieved. Even in the worst cases, those parties usually only have ~30% popular support at most, which usually translates to at most…

Isn't AfD winning 20% of the vote and increasing, and it already has won some states?

Lack of records isn't the issue. You authorize mailbox's servers to send on behalf of your domain. Then they let anyone with a mailbox account set the from to your domain.

I see, so their SMTP authentication is woefully broken and they let anybody who can send an e-mail from their SMTP server to put anything in From: ? That's rather hard to believe. The defaults of most SMTP servers like Postfix prevent that. Since I don't want to get banned I don't really want to test that option with their SMTP server. I took the https://emailspooftest.com/ and while the "spoof" mail gets delivered t…

I think on the sending side, being able to send from others’ addresses is fixed by now: https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/anti-spoofing-for-cus...

But it definitely used to be possible, I tried once with success.

Anti spoofing for incoming mails was not perfect the last time I checked either, but is a different issue.

Boiling down the different approaches to freedom of speech to "The baseline level is higher/lower", has always been a pretty simplistic (and if you would actually delve into the topic a little, flat out wrong) view . Freedom of speech is not absolute. Neither in Europe nor in the US. Both effectively have rules restricting certain speech. For example, speech that may harm others, such as inciting violence or maybe th…

> Shouting FIRE in a full venue "Crowded theater"? In any case, yes, that's a popular understanding of limits on free speech in the US, but it's actually been superseded twice - first by "clear and present danger," then by "inciting or producing imminent lawless action." These days, it's probably (I am not a lawyer) legal to yell "fire!" in a crowded theater under many circumstances. > Sadly, the recent developments…

Sounds like there are some of those laws. You covered them with "unless"
