softmaus@kubikpixel Itβs still fine for general usage, you know.
Moe Lassus@softmaus @kubikpixel Iβm not sure what people expect Proton to do. It appears, according to the 404 article, that they didnβtβhelpβ but were legally compelled to hand over payment data. Proton is not, in any way, an anonymous service if youβre paying with a CC. I have a lot of issues with Proton but this isnβt one of them. It remains one of the best alternatives to Gmail/Hotmail/YahooMail.
@moelassus @kubikpixel Exactly.
@kubikpixel Proton offers free accounts that can be used anonymously without leaving a trace. A free Proton account used in combination with a no-log VPN should provide sufficient anonymity. If you use a payment method, the service is obliged to keep the data for its own auditing. And when there's data, the service is obliged to hand it to law enforcement. Proton does support payment with cryptocurrencies for increased anonymity. Users should inform themselves about these options.
