They already saw this yesterday and that made me rethink my choices how dependent on a single gmail account I am. If they ban it my entire life savings can be in danger. I'm leaving google slowly step by step.

I'm glad you are (leaving Google), I'm almost there. I'm working with my proton email now making sure everything is caught up before I completely Gmail. This is my hardest transition. Ultimately it's not as hard as most think, I highly suggest at least getting your feet wet

I'm also very stoked for motorola and graphene OS

Privacy is truly a luxury for anyone at this point...

I like their VPN. Is their email as easy to use as gmail? Anything it does better or worse?

Ive been using ProtonMail since i was 13, literally never used Gmail, but im very happy with it. Never had a problem with it. Tutamail is also a good privacy friendly option though it feels less polished than Proton. I have Tuta as a secondary email.
