Email Privacy Concerns

Problem

Commercial email services like Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook are not truly private. They read your emails and use the information for targeted advertising.

Solution

- Use alternative search engines like startpage.com to avoid tracking.
- Consider using email clients that prioritize privacy such as Thunderbird, Spike, and Slack.
