You write: I'm fortunate enough to work at a company (enum.co) where digital sovereignty is not just a phrase.

info.addr.tools shows [1]: MX 1 smtp.google.com. TXT "mailcoach-verification=a873d3f3-0f4f-4a04-a085-d53f70708e84"

TXT "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

TXT "google-site-verification=TTrl7IWxuGQBEqbNAz17GKZzS-utrW7SCZbgdo5tkk0"

This is not just a phrase, it is a DNS entry. Using the most evil in phrases of digital sovereignty.

Hi R_Spaghetti,

Founder of enum here. That's a fair point, and a good catch.

Honestly, using Google Workspace for our internal email was a pragmatic choice early on to let us focus on building our core product. It's a classic startup trade-off, and one we're scheduled to fix in the coming weeks.

I want to be clear, though: our customer-facing platform and all its data are and always have been 100% sovereign. Our infrastructure is totally independent of Big Tech.

Thanks for holding us accountable!
