But as highlighted in the slashdot article, if you do that, your
business is NOW a foreign entity, and thus, not subject to any 4th and
5th amendment protection.

So, no, private email services are about to disappear, or go ENTIRELY
private, meaning, you have to run it by yourself, for yourself.

The average citizen isn't going to do that.

The not so average citizen who can (and does) will now likely be
subject to additional scrutiny because the average citizen can not and
will not do so.  In better words, by doing so, you look suspicious.

Funny how this all works to their advantage...
