That’s why I’m a fan of tools that respect privacy without making a fuss about it. For example, I’ve been using Proton Mail for ages and never been disappointed. It offers features like end-to-end encryption and doesn’t track your data.
And, you surely don’t need to confirm your phone number to open an account. Those are the emails you can send in peace.
It’s not paranoia; it’s about having a space where you can communicate freely without someone looking over your shoulder. It’s also less about hiding secrets and more about preserving that little slice of autonomy in a world that seems determined to take it away.
