Very interesting. I'm in the US so not sure all the perks of EU privacy help me here (actually I know they DON'T!) but my big question is this: my job uses Google suite and I work from home a few days a week. Even if I get my personal stuff off Google, if my work stuff IS Google can I have any confidence that they're still not scanning my stuff and training on AI? I have zero chance of convincing a big university to change email/drive company and I use my personal laptop for work so wouldn't I still be enmeshed in the Google universe? Just wondering!
The EU thing, for me, is more down to the geopolitical dimension. Regardless of that, Proton and Signal have great privacy and security track records wherever you are, so there's definitely something to be gained there.

Great questions.

Protect what you can :-)
Thanks for the mentioning, glad that it helped/motivated :)
