Opening a discussion for this [Terms of Service; Didn't Read - Phoenix](https://edit.tosdr.org/points/35968/) The user epoberezkin (which I believe to be a SimpleX employee) disagreed with this point. I challenge that, however I am not convinced yet that, it is fair to give a service a bad point for using an email provider. And I would argue its obvious that an email provider will process an email address. I believe there are also exceptions for this in GDPR although I would need to look that up. What are your thoughts? ---
