Owning your email accounts with your own domain is just a good idea given the state of things, even if you ultimately just deliver it into Gmail or whoever. It gives you the ability to spend an hour and have all your email appearing with someone else in the event that a companies algorithm goes haywire and cancels your accounts.

I route my own domain email to Gmail and do a regular Google takeout, but even the domain can be taken away if you're naughty.

You can choose a domain registrar that has customer support provided by humans.

You are still at the mercy of the legal system, but not unappealable AI decisions.
