It's becoming a pattern in the last few weeks. Fastmail manages my business email which is causing quite the annoyance.

According to the article, this is targeting multiple "privacy and security-centric email services". What are the odds this is a coordinated attempt to drive folks to less secure, or bigger corporate services?

I can't think of any reason any intelligence agency in the world would want others using small, "privacy and security centric" (whatever that means? If your email is at any point unencrypted, it's not secure nor private) providers.

Cloud email providers were a dream come true to the world's intelligence agencies and law enforcement.

I run my own mail and haven't seen any of this.
Are there any small (i.e. vulnerable to DDoS) service providers that aren't privacy and security centric?
school districts perhaps
