That's a good solution to the FOSTA/SESTA thing!

Basically the email issue is that under Microsoft's new TOS (starting this May) "offensive language" and porn related stuff will banned on their platforms, including Outlook (the email service I use), Skype, and Office 360. According to Microsoft, they won't be trawling through every single person's data to look for violations, but if they receive a complaint they'll be able to use to it to boot people.

It simply isn't feasible for them to get rid of every single person who might be in defiance of this rule because... well, that would be nearly everyone, wouldn't it? But anyway people on tumblr have been talking about how we need to use new email services (I guess there are also problems with gmail this way) and find alternatives to Word, and all kinds of stuff.
