> I am being monitored for using a privacy focused email address

How exactly did you find this out? I don't think you generally get letter mail saying "Hey, we're monitoring you now". How do you differentiate monitoring behavior from something like an individual service flagging an individual transaction because of your email and killing it?

I'm always deeply skeptical of claims like this since they're almost always unverifiable by any party (including the commenter).
