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.

    The website is pretty decent & clean

    what the fuck? Google has a clean website, doesn’t mean I should be using it. The usefulness of the information is what matters, and privacytools ranking ads as “best picks” sure as hell isn’t informative

    better licencing

    same as above. Doesn’t matter if they have a better license when everything else is a scam

        What ads & what scam ? Disroot ? Picocrypt ?

        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.

        PG’s Jonah Aragon steal PT’s creator’s funds & his subreddit & censors anyone who mentions it

        🌟lies🌟

        can you stop linking that one video which uses “trust me bro” and the privacytools website itself as sources and link some actual verifiable stuff?
