Proton VPN/mail. It's often recommended as being safe, but I'm not so sure.

It has servers in Israel. Ties to Israel are never a good thing. Palantir, Epstein, etc are tied to Israel, and Israel also is known for its surveillance. It is also true that it's completely legal there for them to access and monitor any and all information that passes through VPNs or networks there.

I'm looking for a safe alternative that's privacy-conscious and isn't linked to Israel. Both mail and vpn (it's fine if they're separate). Please let me know if you guys know.

You have the ability to whip up this BS about proton, but a web search for “private email provider” was too much?

Why is it BS?

I did my research, I wanted community feedback for things I may have missed.

Wooosh. That search would be pretty useless to anybody who opposes genocide.
