Being in the same situation as the author (deleted FB account few months ago), I was just thinking how it would be nice to have a mailing list with friends&family in it but didn't know where to start, when this article hit top 30.

I would appreciate if someone would list few Mailchimp's pros and cons and/or maybe few alternatives, from privacy/freedom perspective.

Here's their privacy policy: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

Their service is good, but as far as I can see, they're willing to sell just about everybody's data to just about anybody.

Mailchimp is a marketing company, their main product is sending massive spam and they have serious privacy concerns (collecting data and doing what they want with it).

Definitely not something to use for friends and family.
