In an unexpected mask off “secure” email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton’s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let’s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇

Always try to provide:

-Server location (jurisdiction)

-Governance

-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency

-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)

-Pricing and links

If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

    I don’t use proton, but I would be grateful if you could share a link on how Proton sided with fascists.

    Also, I use Mullvad for VPN and I host my own email

        Huh, I wasn’t very concerned with your links… but I googled and found out Andy Yen is the founder. That’s alarming

          True, but Tim Brenners-Lee is also on the board, and he historically has generally good takes on tech and politics.

          People are often unwilling to go against the positions of the guy who created the World Wide Web.

            If his presence at proton is the old thing holding back the stupid, then it isn’t as good a company as we has been thinking.

          There is a Venn diagram where all of us overlap.

          Even the US Republicans and Trump supporters are distinct with some overlapping values.
