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.

Iโ€™m not going to change from Proton because of this, but what youโ€™re suggesting is probably not a bad idea. CEOs are and should be easy to replace and mistakes like this are pretty standard reason why CEOs get booted.

edit removed some rather incriminating, unverified claims about Andy Yen

I think you need to be in Protonโ€™s Board of Directors to have any effect on this. Perhaps if some of those guys are your friend?
