Makes me feel a lot less confident about having a protonmail account. Best alternatives for privacy?
Keep in mind this is only one of five board members of the Non-Profit that owns Proton AG
still not a good look when your selling point was being outside of 5/9/14 eyes and you're cozying up to the government of objectively the worst country, privacywise
Still a decision maker and able to convince other members though.
Thank you.
Tuta?
Enshittifying
How?
They give you poorly disguised ads that you can't unsubscribe from in the form of a "news letter". These appear as emails in your inbox with special styling that sticks out. They've recently started pushing new features in the Calendar that you need to be the higher paying tier to use, but they still have special styling to make them stand out. If you try to use them, you get a huge popup saying you need to upgrade. They've been removing features from the lower tiers and demand you upgrade to keep using it.
Perhaps riseup if youre an anarchist or posteo if youre willing to pay a low fee?
I use posteo myself. Its alright and reliable. Would try Riseup (kinda got political) but idk anyone to ask for an invite code
disroot.org maybe
I like them
Best? Hosting an encrypted email server in your own house. As a service, mailfence seems to be a decent alternative
