      The US and EU are tight-knit allies in empire. The US Empire has hegemony, sure, but the EU is still a willing participant in imperialism. They are all millitary allies through NATO, they share data. If you live in the west, the west having data on you is what can harm you.

        I’m sure they do. Do you self-host your email? I’m not smart or patient enough to do that, so I have to trust someone, unfortunately.

          If you self-host it, you´re actually more open to lesser vector of attack, since I really doubt you will go into building robust security solutions with your personal IP. That includes local law enforcement or criminal elements just taking your server.

          I don’t, that’s why I want to use a service not in fascist-adjacent countries.

          Even if you do self host who are you sending email to? It’s most likely going to one of the big tech companies.
