One recent article referred to President Trump as “Big Tech’s Personal Lobbyist,” for his efforts to undermine U.S. state and international efforts to regulate or tax the enormous wealth of digital economy giants.

Right on!! Like you, I HATE spam. And the thought that I'm helpless to receive unwanted corporate communication makes me a little nutty. To that end, I've found email filters to be really helpful when all else fails. I use protonmail but I imagine other email applications have something similar. As soon as I get one unwanted email, I create a new rule: based on the sender's email address and/or subject line keywords - instantly move all current and future messages to trash and mark as read. Out of sight out of mind

I go one step further, I do not use filters I use separate email addresses. While I was still using apple’s hide my email and I got spam I would reach out to the service if I still used it and tell them emails were leaked, then I would change my email address. If I had forgotten that I had that account I would just close the email.

I tried out proton for a bit but I heard that they supported Trump, it seems that this story may not be true, so I wanted to move to a Canadian host. Sure it is not as easy as Apple’s hide my email or proton but cpannel is not that hard.
