So, in a group I'm in, someone shared a campaign call calling on #Google to stop supporting the #Israel government and end its complicity in war crimes in #Gaza
The platform they're using to share these messages? #GoogleGroups of course. The email account the initial person sent the notice from? #Gmail of course.
Should I call them out and say - shouldn't we stop using a genocide-supporting #platforms?
Yeah probably best not to sound judgy in you're reply (their probably not even aware that alternatives to Google exist) but yeah maybe you can nudge them with a supportive tone
Do you know of a trustworthy email provider that is not Gmail?

For mailing lists or orgs, https://riseup.net/ or https://mayfirst.coop/en/ are significantly better, ethically and security-wise, than relying on any corporate platform.
More people should spread that one around so people could become more aware of ethical email platforms. People not using them, it's usually because they don't know where to find these type of email providers.
