IE like Crypto AG:

In 2020, it was revealed that the Swiss company, Crypto AG, which provided secure communications services to ~120 governments throughout the 20th century, was secretly ran by the CIA and West German Intelligence. The CIA and later NSA were able to read encrypted communications for many countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Italy, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Jordan and South Korea.

Email is a really tough one especially, because it wasn't designed with security in mind, and of course even if you're on a secure email service, 99% of the emails you send and receive are going to be with non-secure services hoovered up by google or AWS.

Anything is better than google at least.
