PrivacyGuide.net mostly has US providers for these and given the current situation with the US, let’s say using US services doesn’t feel very private at all, regardless of how strong the claims are.

I’m not looking for total privacy, but just to start being more private until the EU gets its ducks a row regarding payment systems (VISA and Mastercard still dominate and make you transparent or at least translucid).

    Email aliases are typically used for account signups so said services have no way of connecting accounts. If the alias provider is at least as private and secure as your regular email provider it can be a net win. PGP is rarely an option here, and usual caveat that email is already a nightmare bad thing for authenticating accounts.

      Oh, I see… so the European surveillance apparatus currently being set up by the countries doesn’t matter… It’s only about the service providers. Pretty naive. The fact that Europe wants to surpass China’s surveillance apparatus, apart from social credit (which is planned for 2032, I believe), should set off alarm bells for everyone.

          I am surprised by the naivety and ignorance. A few years ago, you all reacted in exactly the same way when the same thing was said about American services, and it is so sad that humanity is resistant to learning and still hasn’t learned anything from Snowden.
          Have fun going through life with your blinders on.
