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?

@Rob399 I'm using #Proton - here's a good list of alternatives that, at least in terms of privacy, are better.

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.

@ncoca riseup sounds good. I don't know about Proton's ethics particularly. Rise up is probally one of the most ethical email providers I seen, based on their statements on the website. I seen more articles mention email providers like Protonmail or tutanota, so I didn't even know about rise up.

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.
