New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/

@josephcox anyone know a good alternative for Proton? Their products are so good, it’s painful seeing them cave to this sort of stuff.

Or is this already the best option, and the reality is just that the best option also sucks for reasons?

@sawaba Plenty of alternatives, proton is mostly just good with the marketing, but depends a bit on your requirements. Mailbox.org, soverin.com etc and a bunch of others also exist.

@evey these alternatives also have encrypted inboxes?
