Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!
I am dissapointed that my VPN is getting involved in US politics. This is not something I want for this kind of service. I dont want to debate US politics here. That being said, I cancelled my annual autorenew for April and I would like some recommendations. Originally I was deciding between Mulvad and Proton. I've also seen some people in this thread using Tuta? I am in Europe and just want a service that prioritizes anonyminity and data protection. I don't know how the dust will settle on all this Proton stuff. What would you all recommend for a provider?
I've used mullvad before and it was a great experience. As far as anonymity goes, I don't think you can do any better than mullvad where you even have privacy friendly payment options. That said, I haven't used proton VPN so I'm not sure how they compare feature-wise
So apparently mullvad and windscribe are the best ones people use.
And I am using windscribe no problem.
It is however not as good integrated in Linux as nordvpn. But it's a lot cheaper.
Wtf Proton is same of Zuckerberg & Musk !!! Which mail could we use now ? Where the hell is the world going ? Could we have an Europe Elon Free, an Europe Zuck Free, and Swiss Proton Free...?!
Self hosting is better these days.
How exactly does one self host a worldwide network of proxy servers?
But does this only create one node, or does it create dozens of them in each country?
Because I use a VPN so I can have anonymous exit nodes in whatever country I want. Happy to be corrected, but I don't think that's self-hostable.
May it live forever even if they delete the toot: https://web.archive.org/web/20250115165213/https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
good thing too, because the page is now deleted
They're is no way Trump wrote that tweet. It is full of punctuation and clearly gets a point across. It was clearly written by someone else. Nevertheless, time to delete protonmail.
He rarely writes any of his tweets. They're dictated to staff
I doubt very much his dictation sounded anything like that tweet. There may have been five or ten words in common.
My dear friend, what is happening over here: “They are is no way…”?
Really disappointing. Never imagined this from Proton. Truly dead to me now.
Lmao, proton looked sus to me for a long time. Good I never felt for anything more than their email.
God damn it.
Exactly. I just switched to proton mail this week.
So Proton is out.
Sorry, I won't trust a service that licks fascist boots.
Regrading Update 2, maybe the other board members can push his guy out? I'm paid for to the end of the year, so I'll wait it out a bit. I'd rather not jump ship, only to have that ship also go pro fascist too.
I thought they are based in Switzerland
They are, but US antitrust/monopolies affect the market worldwide. In https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogerhuang/2022/12/27/andy-yen-ceo-of-proton-on-the-tech-giants-that-dominate-the-internet-the-webs-future-and-bitcoin/ the same guy discusses the issue in more details.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
