I switched from Gmail to Proton, but now with everything coming out about Proton I’m switching from them too. I started using Posteo which I like but a lot of my accounts having to do with money and finance (including my bank) aren’t accepting the Posteo email. They have rejected it over and over and even locked me out stating that I was hacked.
Do you guys have any recommendations for email providers to use that also won’t send red flags to my more official accounts?
If it helps, I’m US-based.
Omg you do act like a Protard. I don’t need to provide evidence that Proton sells its service off the concept of privacy, something every company operating in their nation does by law. As I alluded to, you can’t even accept basic facts.
You don’t get marketing and how corporations work. I swear you give off some of the biggest bootlicking vibes I have ever seen. It is almost comical like you are a parody account. If so, thanks for the laugh.
I love how your only comparison is with big companies rather than small email providers or self hosting. You must live in a sad world to have so few options. I guess you better throw some money at Proton for “security”.
Then when I pointed out they needlessly store your meta data credit information you could give a shit. That is how I know you are not a privacy respecting person and just acting like a corporate hack.
You have failed to disprove my points in any meaningful way. You ignored evidence that Proton has poor privacy practices because you like to carry water for them I guess. I really don’t know. But pretending people don’t have legitimate reasons to dislike the company is pretty ignorant.
You do lol. Otherwise you’re just yapping.
I don’t think you know what a fact is.
You’ve failed to prove your points in any meaningful way. That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence and all that.
The evidence you failed to provide because in your own words, you “don’t have to”? Lol. Lmao even.
Oh no I compared small email providers. They have all the same limitations as ProtonMail will have. As for selfhosting, you don’t even understand the first thing about email, privacy, or OpSec. Selfhosting is entirely out of the question for someone like you.
I’m still waiting for a legitimate reason. I ask with an open mind every time I see comments like this but the answer is always the same, technological illiteracy and “bad vibes”, your comment included.
Speaking of funny, you read my comment saying how the bots complaining about privacy-forward services like Proton are always a result of ignorance and not understanding how technology or privacy work, and you were like “Hey that’s me, now’s my time to shine” lol
Your deny that Proton uses privacy as a selling feature and you want me to prove it does otherwise I am yapping? Do you know how impossibly dumb you sound.
My point that I think they have shitty marketing practices? You have not even addressed this nor moved the needle in how I see their shitty business practices. My argument is not what you are addressing at all. That is okay, like I said you act like a parody. It is actually funny to see how hard you pander for a corporation. You must REALLY like Proton, lol.
Proton uses privacy as a selling point and they deliver on it by providing you with a private email service.
If you would like to assert that they’ve broken some kind of promise they made to you in regards to privacy, then yes, you have to provide some sort of proof of that claim. If you believe that you don’t, it’s you that appears impossibly dumb I fear.
If you have a point to make about their marketing practices, then make it. If you can’t articulate a single problem you have with Proton then you’re just yapping and can be safely ignored.
