I would have to disagree with the principle: freedom is not an issue of "easy" or "difficult". By that principle, Skype would be free because it is (maybe) easier to use. Now, I understand agree that if something is terribly hard to do on your own, you should be free to use a service that provides you with that. Of course, using only free software to access the service, choosing a service that respects your freedom/privacy, etc, is important. I don't necessarily see SaaSS as a bad thing, depends on the task and the way it works. As for email, I think we should target more at promoting and using GPG or maybe bitmessage. I wouldn't mind using Google Account if ALL my email was encrypted... Well, yes I would, I currently use openmailbox and I love it :P but you got my point :P
