You can sign up for Proton mail without providing email or phone number, as far as I recall.
Nope. Try doing it through a Tor node.
I did that recently while using Tails, and it let me register without either an email or phone number. This is misinformation.
I don’t know what to tell you. Tried it yesterday, and it required an email to verify.
you still can, it was a bug in past that they fixed long ago
Try it now. Load up a tor tab in the Brave browser, and try signing up for an email without providing any info.
yes I just did, not brave but tor browser and I was able to create account
I just loaded up a Linux vm with Brave, and tried to sign up in a tor window. It requires a verification email to sign up.
Maybe you’re using a browser or OS that it’s tracking.
It does not, this is misinformation. Do not believe this person, I recently did it on Tails while using Tor and did not need email or phone number.
I just tried it yesterday. Definitely required an email for verification.
I just tried it on my phone literally thirty seconds ago, after reading your comment, without using Tor or a VPN. Verification was done with a captcha. No email required.
yeah I’m using tor browser, also don’t forget you can get fingerprinted even on tor
Totally. You should assume yours is being tracked if they’re not asking for verification.
fingerprinting is not tracking, personally im fine with them fingerprinting they just don’t want to give unlimited free stuff for anyone
it’s not a bug and it’s still not possible, it’s for tracking who created the account of course.
It is possible, I just signed up for one recently while using Tails. I was not required to use either email or phone number. Stop spreading misinformation.
Doesn’t work for me: https://0x0.st/Xkw4.png
Maybe it only works for some people.
They said any service gets shut down. I registered a ProtonMail account without email or phone number. Proton also does not cooperate with anyone but Swiss authorities. It is obviously still possible.
You can also register without one on cock.li, if you don’t mind them being edgy middle-aged teenagers.
All services do eventually shut down, possibly moreso for higher privacy services, you might just disagree on when.
That is your argument? “Time destroys all things”? Really?
Yeah, when you think about it, one day the sun will explode and all these email services that don’t require backup emails will shut down. You got me there, champ.
tor isn’t email or phone
No shit, Sherlock.
