😖Definitely disturbs me.

This disturbs me. Doesn’t it disturb you? apnews.com/article/goog... Google Calendar users no longer see default entries for events like Pride, Black History Month

I’ve been thinking about leaving Google altogether for a while. It will take a bit of work for me to figure out something else, but I need to. Other thoughts?

Man it’s so hard thinking about how much work it would be to make these changes. I use G Suite for email and my work phone number 🙃

I use Google for those things to, and yet when I challenge myself, I realize that these are the types of necessary changes I need to consider in this era of tech power over the people. I’m considering switching my clients to truly hipaa compliant services now that I found out Google no longer is.

@melodybrave.bsky.social @ambermccartney.bsky.social I'm considering proton mail. In their FAQ at the bottom of this page they discuss the difference between gmail and proton mail regarding privacy. And it's a company based in Switzerland, not the US. https://proton.me/mail

I’ve looked through Hushmail and a few others and this one, by far, is the best I have read about. Thanks for sharing!

I think I'm going to go for it with Proton mail. They offer a free version, and you can upgrade for more storage or added security if you want to. Also have a tool to set up auto forwarding from gmail. Though I want to escape the junk mail haha, so I don't know if I'll do that.

Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely look into it.

juliechristine1990.bsky.social•14 days ago

Totally. Let me know what you’re considering as alternatives.

ambermccartney.bsky.social•15 days ago

I've been having the same thought and trying to figure out alternatives. I feel like these are small ways to take back power. If enough people do it, it will hurt them financially which is the only thing they care about.

melodybrave.bsky.social•14 days ago

They are proving that they truly only care about finances, so I feel that that is where we have to address the issue
