I’ll start off by saying I get where the push back is coming from. I heard some of the sub-human things the CEO has said. But I’ve been looking at the competition and I’m not seeing any instant winners.
I get anger I get having morals but constantly changing emails as your main is exhausting. the features Proton offers for me have always worked and worked great.
My question is outside of being a typical CEO AI shareholder simp, has Protons security protocols lapsed ?
What other options ? Particularly ones with generous free tiers.
I’m sure this will get downvoted to hell but I need to ask …
The only real solution for email is to own your own domain.
Then you can move email providers without changing email addresses.
I don’t use them for email but I have a bit over a year left of their VPN service already paid for.
I’ll probably switch before it’s over unless they change course.
This and Mullvad are why I only subscribe for a vpn one month at a time. Don’t want to be stuck with a service I paid for that I don’t want to use.
There are various entities who can take your domain away, people seem to forget that.
I mean… sure, but what’s your point?
Having your domain taken away is surely less likely than getting your Gmail or Proton account perma-banned, and it at least gives you some measure of freedom against being locked in to a specific provider.
Your static IPs, your VPS accounts, the connection you get from your ISP, and the electricity that runs your hardware can all be taken away too.
My point is already included in my initial reply.
Okay, let me try asking a different way: are you implying that the possibility of a domain being taken away should be a factor when deciding how to set up a personal email account? Or something else?
Or are you just making an observation that’s unrelated to the email discussion?
Law enforcement…or?
