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.

Very interesting, thanks! Did you ask what kind of leaks because technically they shouldn’t be able to leak anything as they claim to have a zero knowledge policy?
I genuinely don’t remember the exact instances we were speaking about, but it happens from time to team. They released data from a French citizen to Swiss & French authorities in the past, and I’m sure this isn’t the only case.

Seems from the article the data was related to the IP address and device but contained no content otherwise since it goes against their policies. Could it be purely based on having to abide by the law of Switzerland?
