    They’re is no way Trump wrote that tweet. It is full of punctuation and clearly gets a point across. It was clearly written by someone else. Nevertheless, time to delete protonmail.

    Ffs. I just switched a ton of stuff over to proton. Hopefully this is an individuals view and not that of the company as a whole.

        It was intended to kind of be my new primary universe for personal communications, leaving behind Google for work/biz.

        But… maybe the water is warmer at Tutanota?

          I was considering tutanota but it felt too small and lacking some features that proton seemed better for. I may look at it again.

          I cannot move from simple login though. I bought a lifetime plan which also includes proton pass and i use simple login extensively now.

          I do use a custom domain but not for most things which i use simple login domains. My custom domain uses my full name and i dont want that associated with some random newsletter or game company etc. But important services are on my custom domain so not the end of the world and can change them all. I dont know who could replace simple login though.

    I literally signed up for their VPN last night since NordVPN doesn’t offer port forwarding. . . Oh well, I can 30 day guarantee it and get mullvad I guess. All I lost was a bit of time setting it up in all my containers, and any respect I had for Proton

    Extra weird because this is always the narrative, yet Trump could be any further from “standing up for the little guys” if he tried. It’s the same with the AfD in Germany, their voted policies (which is public as per the EU regulations) are as anti-consumer pro-corpo as you can be, even edging our truly crazy libertarian money sucker positions.

    Too bad, I was considering their service when my VPN service ran out. Not excluding them outright, but will have to keep a eye on it.

    Does anyone have links to the dumpster fire of a reddit thread in one or the Proton subs? There was also one of r/privacy but I can’t find either so suspect they’ve been deleted to try to quell the flames.

    It was very entertaining drama

    Been using their paid service for months. I have so many aliases. I’m just surprised. Surely this company knows its biggest user base has to be too educated to let this slide.

    Just some advice for all of you affected by this.

    Begin demanding a response from the ownership of this company.

    “Is this Message approved by your board, and owners”

    Just leaving doesnt make a difference, and some of you in the comments bought services right before this. That fucking sucks.

    We dont have journalists and media on our side to help any more(arguably we never did, but that’s a separate discussion)

    I think there are still good bones in Proton, but you know where at least one piece cancer is, and its in the worst spot. Demand as stakeholders that they remove the cancer or admit its not going to happen. Repeat your messages until they publicy respond as a company not just the head of it.

    Its a shame if you dont do at least as much as expressing that they owe you an explanation and that you need the company as a whole, to why this had happened

    This is a betrayal to many of you, tell them exactly what they need to do

    Good luck. It only takes one of you to suceed and we all win
