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!
That’s fine. But as R_Spaghetti has kindly pointed out maybe you could try and convince your colleague to change the post to rather accommodate “… digital sovereignty is still just a phrase …” and then possibly add something like “and we are working to change that” :) Just a thought. Of course we all are free to talk anything we want, do anything we want, and definitely write and post anything we want.
> Our infrastructure is totally independent of Big Tech
That's wishful thinking. You cannot be truly independent from them, no one can. They control major BGP routes, major ASN, big fiber cables, etc. It's just impossible

They aren't going to cut the fiber cables if your Google accounts gets locked.
