In an unexpected mask off “secure” email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton’s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let’s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇
Always try to provide:
-Server location (jurisdiction)
-Governance
-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency
-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)
-Pricing and links
If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

This is amazing. People were perfectly okay with ignoring all the red flags in Proton and their products and really okay with buying all their bullshit, then a tweet saying Trump comes up and that’s it. lol
What red flags?

What were the red flags?
From what I recall, the red flags included stuff like giving the IP away of activists, having access to private keys while claiming e2e, and taking more info than they claim. I am busy atm, but i can find some links to sources when I get a chance.
edit: here is the link I said that I would find: from Hacker News

…that looks pretty modestly-sized in the foreground, honestly…
(this is a huge red flag:)
But also a big plus. I’m so conflicted.
🤷 sometimes people grumble quietly until a final straw is added to the stack. Not surprising.
What a piss of an excuse that is ahah
What a piss poor brain you have.
And since when did I offend you? Unless… you’ve been “grumble quietly until a final straw is added to the stack”
Cry about it and reflect on it, bitch.
