I switched from Gmail to Proton, but now with everything coming out about Proton I’m switching from them too. I started using Posteo which I like but a lot of my accounts having to do with money and finance (including my bank) aren’t accepting the Posteo email. They have rejected it over and over and even locked me out stating that I was hacked.
Do you guys have any recommendations for email providers to use that also won’t send red flags to my more official accounts?
If it helps, I’m US-based.
I must be out of the loop. What’s the issue with Proton?
I think they sponsored a right-wing French Youtuber, but they publicly apologised and said they didn’t know his political alignment.
Is that the whole thing? Genuinely asking.
That is the whole thing.
Seems…pretty thin tbh. I’m not ready to throw baby out with bathwater just yet.
Same. No idea what OP is talking about and I’m usually up to speed on stuff. Nobody has answered either so it’s probably an old article from a couple months ago about that cia inquiry or whatever (can’t recall). Idk what else. They always have a bad rep here, but it’s better than pretty much everything else, minus maybe a few one-offs.
I haven’t heard anything about it either, so am wondering if this is just good old fashioned muckraking.
@mrnngglry@sh.itjust.works proton keeps publicly dog whistling fascists/maga and – hopefully – by accident.
I thought it was the X posts from 2023 or 2024 supporting Drumph or the GOP.
Edit: It was mostly misunderstanding, at least on the topic I thought it was about. I know their stance on privacy may be in question still.
Found a source https://theintercept.com/2025/01/28/proton-mail-andy-yen-trump-republicans/ And another: https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e
that’s how it started and it escalated to proton itself paying a french fascist to make a video a few days ago.
I was just reading their response to that. I skipped down to the part where they said their ad buys are sort of not their fault? lol
Edit: added link
don’t you just hate it when your money spends itself all on its own and w/o your control? lol
Most definitely
