hot take: @protonprivacy didn’t fail you. YOUR OPSEC failed you.

encryption ≠ anonymity. these are not the same thing and never have been.

Proton did exactly what they said they’d do - encrypted your emails and complied with lawful Swiss legal orders. that’s the whole deal. that’s what you signed up for.

the credit card you used to pay for your “anonymous” account was never part of the encryption. that was always traceable. that was always a liability.

and here’s the kicker - Proton literally accepts Monero and cash. they gave you the tools. you chose the Visa.

@arstechnica Should be banned.
@skinnylatte They actually did respond and say that they follow Swiss law. The FBI didn't ask for the information directly; they asked the Swiss government, who then asked Proton. Proton provided it. Hugely disappointing.

Time to announce something new: @aiscarvalho and me have set up a dedicated consultancy to help organisations migrate away from big tech platforms.

https://devicediversa.org

We help inform your decisions: we map your requirements, present alternatives, list the pros and cons involved, and give you support and advice throughout the migration process.

We draw from our 15+ year experience using F/LOSS software and managing our digital infrastructure in order to help other organisations do the same, with technical expertise that we know how to convey in clear and human terms.

So if you know an organisation that wants to get away from Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Dropbox, Salesforce, Zoom, Notion, AirTable, Adobe or Figma, we're here to help!

We're a specialised consultancy focused on helping organisations move away from big tech digital services.
