A few days ago, the U.S. government sanctioned A/I for supporting “extreme far-left antifa terrorists”. If you didn’t know, A/I is an antifascist and anticapitalist group based in Italy, and they host a lot of services (like email, website hosting, etc.) run through donations. Their policy states that they are against racism, sexism, militarism, homophobia, and transphobia, and you have to agree to those principles to use their services. Their website and mailing server has been taken down, and unfortunately, that also means my email no longer works. It’s kind of insane how quickly the American government can take down internet services they don’t like. A/I has denied all of the allegations by the Trump admin, and rightfully so, they’re just a digital services provider who respect your privacy and are against fascism and bigotry.

I still need to use email, so what’s a good alternative email provider that doesn’t profit off of my data? I have used Disroot in the past and had good experiences with their services, so they are currently my fallback. I have ruled out Proton and Tuta, as neither support IMAP properly.
The official statement linked here claims some actual violent terrorists used the services to coordinate attacks ….
Of course it also lists antifa and cop city protesters among them
Actual terror orgs use Google and Microsoft too. Don’t see them bringing Gmail and Outlook offline because of it.
Every email in the trump-Epstein files are from google.
But those are far-right supporters, so they’re fine /s
If they’re saying ‘violent terrorists’ and listing antifa and cop city protesters, then they’re saying groups like al-qaeda are on par with protesters, and therefore must not be that bad.
They’re making the word meaningless.
