Can't use Redpocket. I'm in the UK. All require kyc since is in Europe. What should I do?
If you use Signal, they don't collect your information at all. I believe it's only your phone number, registration date, and last time you pinged their servers. They don't get any messages you send.
As for mail, I think this one's a tricky bastard but if you use VPN, something like protonmail won't receive anything on their end, maybe some metadata from when you sent the email though, and assuming the other person is also using protonmail or pgp encryption.
I personally also have a threat model outlined and have 2 phones. One cheap flip phone with my redpocket sim which I use for government and banking stuff. My tmobile phone is for anything else, like friends and social stuff. Maybe you could have the same thing set up.
