Proton Mail

In the new #surveillance economy, data is indeed the new currency. Choosing services that respect your privacy is the first step to fighting back. #ProtonMail's #e2ee ensures your data only belongs to you, not #BigTech, governments, or hackers.

@ClaireFromClare Serving our community is our main value, and our largest community is on Twitter.

Note that, in order for us to help people understand how important privacy is, we cannot only "preach to the choir", and communicate our message only to users who are already aware of it. We also need to reach out to those who are still not fully aware of the current state of privacy on the internet.

Keeping Fediverse users informed would be sensible IMO - if this is the real #Proton? Surely an organisation dedicated to #privacy & #security would be concerned to provide link #verification of identity at least:

- or to host Mastodon on your own domain as suggested here:
