I know the CEO dug himself a pretty deep hole recently.
I had been meaning to switch all the services I currently use over to proton - but his remarks gave me pause.
Is it still worth considering?
im pretty sure they turned over ip of a french activist (not 100% sure) and when i was checking them out there tor mirror just linked to the clearnet site wich put me off so based on your threat model they can be ok
Eh, ACAB: All CEOs Are Bastards. Tim Apple attended Trump’s inauguration.
That’s a good point people here are getting bent out of shape a out proton CEO lapring Maga but will continue to use their iPhone or android, no questions asked 🤡
But the difference is we all have a choice of an email provider, whereas people are socially expected to have a smartphone these days and those are pretty much the two viable choices.
Technically, yes.
IF you’re worried about the CEO, go for Tuta.I have to say I found this article insightful: “Does Proton really support Trump? A deeper analysis (and surprising findings)”
It inclines me to give him the benefit of the doubt. He clearly got stuck trying to make his point and at some point just stopped explaining. My feeling was that that was good decision because he stopped digging a deeper hole.
If you are going to spend time and money migrating to another service, choosing one that seems to be headed in the wrong direction seems ill-adviced.
European-alternatives.eu seems like a good resource to find alternative services.
Personally I am waiting to see if Murena.com restores their nextcloud offering, as I am planning to move to /e/OS on my phone again and wouldn’t mind sending a little money their way. I’m not into hypersecurity though, if you have very particular needs others will have better insights. For me having it hosted in the EU is good enough.
I don’t get why people hate companies based on one person instead of the company as a whole.
