I switched to https://www.inbox.eu/en/ which is a classical email service so probably not good if you are Palestinian journalist, but the proton walled garden started to piss me off. Their apps suck essentially, the fucking android app for mail truncates the subject so it becomes impossible to use when you are dealing with subjects with long prefixes. The calendar app didn’t actually integrate with android at all, which is completely baffling. Couldn’t give 2 shits about drive and docs or vpn

Because Proton’s ambitions are to become a mainstream player, like gmail or outlook.

Tuta or Mullvad are happy being services used by people like us.

I mean this sucks but at the end of the day the service should be used for the zero-knowledge encryption, not the CEO being a Right Libertarian idiot. Now if Proton apparently gets into actively funding something objectionable or compromise the encryption then yeah consider jumping ship.

Goodby proton, it has been nice.

Thanks for the reminder, just deleted my proton account.

What exactly does that mean? I have switched to proton because of their open-source nature and to branch out from google. I don’t really care what the proton founders are doing as long as my data isn’t sold by google. In that case nothing will change for me, am I right?

I’m not happy about this as well. I’m one of their customer, I will write to them.

This happened weeks ago no?

I switched to Mullvad. It’s been great so far.

Don’t be so dramatic, they are not changing their privacy settings.
