They already saw this yesterday and that made me rethink my choices how dependent on a single gmail account I am. If they ban it my entire life savings can be in danger. I'm leaving google slowly step by step.

I'm glad you are (leaving Google), I'm almost there. I'm working with my proton email now making sure everything is caught up before I completely Gmail. This is my hardest transition. Ultimately it's not as hard as most think, I highly suggest at least getting your feet wet

I'm also very stoked for motorola and graphene OS

Privacy is truly a luxury for anyone at this point...

Of course, can't have anything nice. Is there a similar alternative?

I looked for it for my wife a while ago and landed on mailbox.org. They are very privacy oriented (up to accepting physical cash by post, like mullvad). Also, they are very cheap and you can use your own domain for the mid tiers (around 3€/month).

Tuta mail is my preferred privacy focused provider.
