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.

    Yeah, I agree. Lotta good points here, maybe the guy is a jerk, maybe an not-thought-out post, idk. If they start screwing with the actual service, that’s an easy signal and I’d be out too.

      The guy in charge of the direction of their company and who directly influences their security and secures your data can’t restrain himself on the public sufficiently to appear trustworthy to 50+ % of the population.

      There are, of course, exceptions, but usually, when someone of that demeanor and lacking restraint makes it to that position, they end up fucking over their company. And since they’re in charge of protecting your data, you should actually think twice about giving them your trust.
