A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

www.Posteo.de
I considered them, but had a problem with two things about them: they both a) don't allow custom domains (which is fine for privacy) and b) recycle email addresses, meaning that if you move on later they will make your old email address available to others.
That's going to be very interesting with persistent spam senders.
The security risk is the problem, right? If you can get a a new password sent to an email address for the person who owned it before you, that's an interesting attack vector.
I use posteo and simplelogin together.
Posteo seems fine if you use a custom domain. If not, they have the same issue of recycling email addresses, like mailbox.
