Wouldn't trust the EU with my data especially with the increasing popularity of laws like chat control and the rise of far left fascist governments who want to censor and control everyone.

This reminds me of a lemmy post where someone was talking about attempts to fuck the gdpr (It's probably nothing) but its worth checking out before you switch your email provider https://lemmy.ca/post/41706496

What if I'm american and switched to mailbox because of how ashamed of my country I am?
Any chance at those 6 months for solidarity?

It merely says "go European", not "go domestic". Of course you can join!

Contact their support and ask if there is anything they can do for you.

No. Its ok. Its not that expensive a service. Plus I actually enjoy using it.

I would normally pull for something like this since I have no love for corps. But with the whole buy european thing, i'll pay it forward with the extra paid for 6 months.

I just hope I won't regret this decision, but so far so good.

Also included: XMPP account on the same address, but it would be nice if they would keep their Ejabberd a bit more up to date.

This is a great promotion! I switched to the infomaniak free email plan, ikmail, and have been very happy with it so far but this is also tempting.

Why? This thing boosted economies of numerous countries that joined it, including mine.

if it's not swiss...it's the shitz

Try to replace Swiss with British and see the reactions. They left the EU. And what's the first thing they did? They cracked down on encryption.

Did Switzerland crack down on encryption? No? Then what the hell does the UK have to do with what I said?

Not everything that glitters is (Nazi) gold. /s

If the proton guy had only kept his mouth shut... he would have tons more customers in the last 2 months.

what are you talking about?

Okay, so I looked into it. Andy Yen just said that republicans would be more likely to crack down on the censorship that big tech is always doing compared to what the democrats would do.

The Biden administration tried to start the "Board of Misinformation" Yes, that's right, the same people who lied to start every war in my lifetime were going to arbitrate who is and isn't telling the truth and possibly even lock people up for saying otherwise.

What's the word for that again? The word for a government that arrests people for saying things they don't want them to say?

Why with the downvotes? You're okay with the government dictating what you can and can't say? Is that it?
