I prefer to use different email aliases for everything to mitigate that

from what i've read, ALL email ( possible 0.000something tolerance/error ) goes through google's mail-transfer-agents.

If they want a copy of every email that goes across the internet, they've got the saturation-of-core-servers to have that.

There simply isn't any way to bypass that.


on an irrelated note, i wish public key encryption had been normalized, & worked right..

( Snowden got stung by a misconfiguration, 1 time, & if geeks get stung, then it isn't ready for normals )

The important part is whether they can associate two identities together. If you use a shared Google login for everything you're doing their work for them.
