Re: Watchout Facebook is trying the same scam

What's hilarious, is that many of the same people get free email anyway from their non-US Big-Tech ISP. So why opt to be slurped like a data slave?

In some instances the ISP mail offering is (or has been) an ISP rebadge of Gmail or Yahoo etc. And the problem of relying on your ISP for your email is that if you swap ISP then you're back to relying on a local archive only, which is really the crux of the problem here.
