I’m seeing a lot of infosec kids and now leftist accounts(!) defend proton on the grounds that it’s not reasonable for them to anonymize payment details

so uhhh here’s the open source tech signal uses to anonymize payments for their only paid feature: https://signal.org/blog/introducing-secure-backups/ and there’s other ways to do it too

there’s also no reason for proton to strongly link logins with message metadata. signal doesn’t, even though its login UI uses phone numbers, which are of similar sensitivity to emails.

Almost 40 orgs just signed an open letter telling Google to reverse Android Developer Verification, we're one of them.
