Me being too lazy and putting off switching to Proton has paid off!

I cancelled my newly made subscription because of this and asked for the money back, currently theyre trying to stall that by all means.

I went with mailbox.org instead for much cheaper, the setup was really simple, but ive heard great things of other providers as well.

Canceled my sub last night, ported everything to Tuta today. No issues this far.

Super disappointing, but is what it is and I'll move on.

Thank you for using a less charged title in the cross-post. It's concerning stuff coming from the Proton CEO and Andy Yen using the official account to amplify it. However, I disagreed with it being characterized as "Full MAGA".

what the fuck???? literally HOW did he reach that conclusion
Anyone got a email site that won't shut down or turn fascist?

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago

I moved to mailbox.org due to this, very happy so far. They seem happy being just a mail provider with no aspiration for world domination on the privacy market, and their site layouts shows that with no upsells or similiar.

Anyone notice Trump clearly didn't write that, because it's clearly written? Remember how bugfuck he was getting over the last year and how we rarely see that anymore?

Just how bugfuck is he now and who's controlling him?

Support business policies of a group that removes oversight, accountability, responsibility, and makes it so he keeps more money.

What do US domestic politics have to do with a small Swiss company? Is there an indication that Proton would be sanctioned otherwise?

https://www.openbiz.io/blog/15-things-to-know-about-u-s-taxes-for-foreign-companies

  1. Foreign companies are generally subject to U.S. tax on U.S. source income. This includes income from selling goods or services in the United States, from owning or leasing property in the United States, and from investing in U.S. securities.

So yeah, doing business in the US, getting paid by US people, subjects them to some US regulations. Hence, they are affected by US domestic policy and politics.

The most interesting part of this take is that JD Vance is very much in the big tech friends circle with Thiel and Musk. But I'm sure they can run some antitrust against their enemies at Google or whatever

It's a shame I have a year subscription to them. I'll be cancelling and moving the second it runs outs.

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cancel it now so you dont forget it while it autorenews.

Wow, I was considering switching to that from Mailfence but maybe not. Maybe I will look at the other options or sit still to see what happens over the next 30 days.
