  • they’re not gonna listen to it…

    does proton want to be constantly harassed (aka investigated informally without charges nor warrants) by fbi, police, mi5, mi6, Interpol, Europol, etc etc via kyc laws and money laundering laws because a few hundreds/thousands petitioners said “do this”? they would receive even more requests for user data (which often don’t require warrants in many countries btw) than they already receive.

    or would they rather continue to enable millions of users to escape censorship while still making lots of money and only sometimes harassed by LE?

    in other words do you think proton is a conscience with software attached? or are they a money-making company that has slightly better values than certain other companies?

    (rhetorical questions. i know the answers already)

    no personal offense intended.



  • if you’re not actually promoting gmail, you ought to make that explicitly clear.

    by pointing out something bad about proton and praising gmail’s version of that, it looks like you’re doing nothing other than recommending gmail in a privacy community.

    everyone already knows gmail has high usability and convenience and zero (financial) cost. using it as an example in this community is redundant and ineffective. better to use another e2ee email service as an example.
