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.

False.

PrivacyTools have made it clear to mark something as promotional

No they absolutely do not, stop being a shill

From https://www.privacytools.io/donate

The only sponsorship of PrivacyTools.io so far is the service "Redact.dev" click here to view the example. To avoid confusion, these entries will be clearly marked as a sponsored entry.

I will make this very clear: No tool or service will be added here just because an affiliate program is offered.

Clearly false when the VPN page lists NordVPN as the best pick, followed by Surfshark and an and for Incogni at the bottom of the page.

NordVPN is pretty good actually, compared to IVPN You can look up Tom Sparks's VPN reviews

The guy has integrity
