“Your email is encrypted” – but what does that *actually* mean?

I wrote a clear, non-technical guide that explains the basics and highlights what’s often hidden in the fine print.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on an earlier version of this article.

Hey guys and gals,
I've been happily using Proton for nearly a year now and have a referral link. New users get 20 USD off (and I get 20 USD as well - a win-win deal 😎).
Here is the link: pr.tn/ref/30VDKTVQ

If you have any questions, ask away. Also feel free to share this link if you know someone who would benefit.

One underrated benefit of degoogling?
De-Epsteining as well!

"I initially avoided degoogling because I knew I would miss out on the latest and greatest. Google is always adding new, smart features that seem almost magical when you first use them. But there is an unspoken 'catch' with nearly all of these features – they need unfettered access to your data to function. This 'transaction' is rarely made explicit. Instead, features are simply rolled-out while default settings, unreadable privacy policies and FOMO work their magic. But once you see what’s going on, you can’t unsee it."

Just one reason I left Gmail for a privacy-respecting alternative.

Hey all,

I just published an email encryption explainer on my site. I'd appreciate your feedback!

There are a few more articles on email coming soon, but I wanted to run this one past y'all in case it needs some refinement.

Many thanks!

Question for my fellow degooglers out there:

Would you use Facebook, LinkedIn and co. for marketing purposes (in my case about degoogling)? I don't mean paid adverts, but just trying to raise awareness through networking on the platform.

Is that using the "enemy's" technology against them? Or is it more an ideological compromise that undermines the mission?

What do ya'll think?

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 - Happy New Year! 🥳

2025 is history. 1984 is here!

There's never been a better time to degoogle your life!

In January, I'll be releasing content on switching email providers. Stay tuned...
