    The wired link from 2021 is still a nothingburger

    Got an archive link for the second article?

    I don’t use protonmail, bit the things you posted are not nearly enough to condemn the entire service.

    I would say that their support of the trump admin is far more damming, but still not enough for people to drop them outright.

    OK, proton isn’t perfect. I don’t like the All In One App, but its better than Google…

    And the free service of email and minimal VPN is still a great entry for those trying to break away from Goole services

    Wait. This is the shitpost community? What is this here???

    quick question, if I registered for free with no identifier, and I get an email that has my info, like I order something, is that account “compromised”? Can they now link all other emails to me?

      The mail is encrypted, so probably not, but they have an extensive privacy policy and some blog entries, against which threats they can protect you, which they can’t

      Not on Proton’s side, but whoever sent you that email obviously has both your info and your Proton address so they know it’s connected to you, even if Proton doesn’t.

        Haha somehow I never realised this. Not much point to it than huh? Still, proton supports aliases, so I can give a “compromised” alias to someone like my bank, and still have untraceable aliases to the same inbox? Or does proton have to provide alias related information when asked?
