Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
An interactive map visualizes which email providers handle official email services for approximately 2,100 Swiss municipalities, based on DNS analysis and public network signals. The project highlights digital sovereignty concerns, particularly noting that US-based providers are subject to the CLOUD Act, which allows US authorities to access data regardless of physical location. The map makes the current provider landscape visible to raise awareness about data sovereignty issues.
