hijacking update channels is a possibility but as the other guy said very unlikely

Because as we all know Chinese companies never collect people's data

Looks like Spain is still trying to revive this but so far it's a proposal to start a discussion on whether it should be introduced, so still far from actually becoming law. Like I said, keeps haunting us every now and then.

Thankfully outdated but keeps coming back to the parliament/commission every now and then. Someone should just kill it already, I mean it's pretty obvious it's in direct contradiction with Article 7 of the Fundamental Rights Charter of the EU

now that the government separated the UK from the EU they should put propellers up their asses and push their pathetic island between russia and china if they wanna pass laws like that

Fine is just the warning. Noncompliance can get the company kicked out of France/EU.

Classified information or $10 manual again?

you don't understand they're queens and need to be protected because they cannot do it themselves!!!

some people need to get off the blackpill

“Private” and “email” should really not appear in the same sentence. The email protocol was not designed with privacy in mind, so any company offering you a “private” email service is simply pandering to the privacy-conscious crowd. Yes, some may promise to store your messages with “zero access encryption” and end-to-end encrypt messages between users of the same service but unless you’re only messaging those users (not gonna happen) copies of all your messages will be hanging around on much less secure/private servers.

Tutanota, Protonmail and Lavabit are currently the most known services promising private email (I have personally opted for Protonmail because it’s free and does not require invites) but you’re making a mistake if you want to use email for any sort of private or confidential communication. Use mail to create an account on with a service designed with privacy in mind, sure, but don’t try and twist email into something that it isn’t - you will regret it.

My general philosophy with email is to use a service which would go out of business if it was found out that they’ve been giving 3rd parties access to your messages and even then don’t store anything sensitive on mail. The ones mentioned above will do fine for that.

I am not a lawyer, but I am very sure that is a violation of the GDPR and highly illegal.

Sadly not. GDPR mandates that user content be deleted or anonymized and replacing your username with “Deleted User” seems to satisfy this requirement, even if everybody knows it’s you who sent them. FWIW Reddit doesn’t delete your comments either, but at least they don’t prevent you from deleting them via a script.
