Yeah, as long as it’s not Google, it works. The real trick is to find a good email aliasing service (I use Addy.io) so when email are exposed in a data breach you can just turn it off and avoid spam. Also good for when your trying different emails out because you just have to update what the aliases send to.

Not enough people think this way.

It just makes since. A fine is just a price, a percentage makes sure people feel it as much as a given law wants them to.

I imagine the more logical argument would be “I threw the rock, but it wasn’t at the seal” rather than “it slipped out of my hand at a high velocity”

I use Posteo, honestly I don’t think it matters much what you choose, anything will be better than Google, encryption is nice but only works if both people have it. Your emails will be as secure as the other address.

That makes a lot of since

Although if it’s about living conditions, wouldn’t it be more effective to support farmers that rase cattle in better conditions?
