Just spam from the proton team, they really are notorious spammers. How could anyone trust a "privacy" company that does such shady marketing? Look at antics on Reddit for a primer sadly now on linux org even.

Apparently Protonmail have been cozying up to Trump as well. I've heard Tuta to be a good alternative I'm trying out. They are also encrypted but I think they also spam you with their "plans".

Got any details on this apparent cozying?

Mind elaborating a bit? This is the first time I'm hearing this. I thought their entire selling point was privacy and end-to-end encryption for emails.

That encryption is flimsy, they can (and do) break it for governments.

Pretty ironic that the cookie agreement is one of those ones where you have to click a billion times on each vendor's legitimate pain in the ass setting.

Thanks for selling my data! Now please, tell me more about online privacy...

The first list on the thread is not the greatest advice, in my opinion. But, I suppose that is a good way to start a thread: mix reasonable with unreasonable. Later commments mix security and privacy together.

That's putting it lightly, per Privacy Guides:

PrivacyTools has become exactly the type of site we warned against on the PrivacyTools blog in 2019.

Rumble instead YouTube

The front page of Rumble is full of American conservative and far-right content. The company behind Rumble hosts Truth Social. A weird way to "regain control over your privacy online".

All you have to do is put in your name, phone number, email, credit card, and address and your privacy is preserved!*
