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.

    I would actually argue that for privacy reasons when choosing an email provider you should go for one outside of the country you live in, even better go for one in a country that wouldn’t comply with your country’s court requests for data.

    Edit: ac corrected actually to factually lol

      Wouldn’t a provider that doesn’t comply with my country, instead comply with a lot more shady entities requests?

        Shady entities outside your own country maybe. But shouldn’t you be more worried about the ones in your own country?
