European providers for email aliases and temporary phone numbers? (programming.dev)

PrivacyGuide.net mostly has US providers for these and given the current situation with the US, let's say using US services doesn't feel very private at all, regardless of how strong the claims are.

I'm not looking for total privacy, but just to start being more private until the EU gets its ducks a row regarding payment systems (VISA and Mastercard still dominate and make you transparent or at least translucid).

Do you mean to say e.g. Proton is not private?

I'm aware of five eyes, but how would that make Proton not private? Simply stating "n eyes" and "agreements with America" comes across strongly as unfounded conspiracy. Can you be much more specific?

    @IceFoxX @staircase Proton faces the same problems that any commercial organisation faces in that they have to operate according to their local laws and cooperate with their local law enforcement.They will offer a degree of privacy which is generally useful but you can't expect them to protect you if you are planning a revolution :)
