In an unexpected mask off โ€œsecureโ€ email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Protonโ€™s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Letโ€™s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘‡

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.

Hi. I see that youโ€™re posting from a Netherlands instance. On the chance that youโ€™re not familiar with how the Republican party operates Iโ€™m going to explain. Any department that is seen as being against business gets a person from the business world. They always promise to do a great job, using their business knowledge. And they always do their level best to destroy or neuter that department.

We are currently at part 2, where they promise to do a great job.

For the most recent infamous example, check out Ajit Pai. He served in the Bush administration as an Anti Trust lawyer before Trump gave him control of the FCC to blow up net neutrality.
