You're giving away all your data for that free email accountI don’t trust Big Tech and you shouldn’t, either. You’ve heard me say for years that free email services like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t really free. There’s a big price to pay — your privacy. These free email sites scan, analyze and save details of every email you send and receive, giving Big Tech a very intimate and detailed profile of you so they can easily sell your data to the highest bidder. That’s why I use StartMail. With StartMail, I can send encrypted emails with one click, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption. And StartMail never scans or analyzes your emails. Best of all, when you delete an email, it’s gone — forever. Don’t trust Big Tech with your data and privacy. Go to StartMail.com/Kim today for a seven-day free trial and 50% off your first year. → |
AND FINALLY ...Robot butlers are closer than ever before. 🎩 Earlier this month, Elon Musk announced he’s working on humanoid robots, which will be programmed with friendly personalities. That means you won’t have to worry about a robot takeover … allegedly. For good measure, Musk says they will be easy to fight off. How reassuring! He says the prototype should be out in 2022, so look forward to meeting your own robot Alfred. 👴 |
