Just a fair warning to other people navigating the page, the links the article provides all contained referral links. Not that it matters too much, but it put a sour taste in my mouth that a privacy oriented post would contain these without disclosing them
Instantly, I don’t trust whoever this is. That’s a red flag. Matters a great deal to me, thanks for pointing it out so I don’t give the site a click.
Proton?
This relies on a ton of private companies in countries with even weaker consumer protections than the US in many cases. Like if you criticize Israel on pretty much any EU platform, they’ll throw you in jail if located there.

Is there any merit to this claim?
no
I’m also trying to avoid as much American tech as possible.
- Vivaldi/qwant instead of Firefox/Google
- Proton instead of gmail
- Waiting for WERO impatiently until then virtual card from wise instead of PayPal
- Void Linux instead of windows/macOS
- Surfshark for VPN
Can’t change everything though. I have a company phone. I could get an extra private phone, but I’d still need to use the company phone for company related stuff. Same is true for the company laptop, but I do have my own computer.
It’s not perfect, but the important thing to me is trying as best as I can.
Im trying to find a replacement for Proton, as the new CEO likes trump and seems pretty far right…
I am afraid that they will start enshitification soon
I’m also not that happy with proton. Maybe tuta could be a replacement.
Eh, better read would be https://privacyguides.org/
While [Trump-supporting Proton] CEO Andy Yen’s recent public statements have raised my hackles more than a little, Proton remains structurally committed to privacy, encryption, and user control, ensuring its ecosystem stays independent of political shifts.
That’s a pretty weak definition of “Trump-proof”.
