Search Risk – How Google Almost Killed Proton Mail | Proton
proton.me
For nearly a year, Google was suppressing Proton Mail from search results for our primary keywords. This episode illustrates that Search Risk is serious and potentially fatal for small businesses.

Google is excelling again - as the whole “uncensored” Big-Tech IT now.

The short summary is that for nearly a year, Google was hiding Proton Mail from search results for queries such as ‘secure email’ and ‘encrypted email’. This was highly suspicious because Proton Mail has long been the world’s largest encrypted email provider.

    In general, I am rather skeptical of “free speech absolutism” and what have you, comes off a little parochial to me.

    Yeah it’s almost always a front for batshit right-wing nutjobbery.

      Not in Retroshare or Freenet or I2P. They do have such people, of course.

      My free speech absolutism would be in separating community moderation from actual physical instances.

      Say, a P2P system where you subscribe to a community (somehow identified) and the “deleted” comments and “banned” users are that because of there being a “delete” record signed by that community.

      With distributed storage, but storage a user contributes being used only by communities they subscribe to, so not like Freenet with every user probably storing one or two blocks of CP files.

      EDIT: That would allow everyone to verify moderators’ honesty and fairness, which would be beneficial to moderators themselves, but at the same time in practice you’d have easy moderation.
