Privacy is a human right. I support providers that believe this as well, and act in accordance. Your model more treats privacy as something to be earned or attained through technic…

"Services, services, services!"

It's a lie. Including in their home country of Switzerland. To buy a Swiss SIM card, you’ll need to provide proof of identity (such as a passport).

Ah got it. I support Protonmail because I believe in easy to use privacy tools for others like journalists, whistleblowers, and teachers. That's why I want Protonmail to be a leade…

Yes 100% this. Their mobile apps need to have a switch for "All connections through Tor", and that switch should be enabled by default. Tor too slow? Speed up the ecosystem by sett…

What's important for you about using Protonmail? Would any non-Google non-Apple email account suffice?

Until yesterday their homepage said "By default, we do not keep any IP logs". That was unclear and has now been removed.

Maybe for you that's clear. But I use Protonmail to advocate for journalists, whistleblowers, and teachers, many of which are not security experts and not familiar with the twisted…

Agreed, that's why I've asked Protonmail to promote their Tor page. Before yesterday the only mention was in their footer under "Onion site" and in a single blog post from 2017. Th…

> We are on a thread talking about them removing claims on their marketing material... that's abundantly clear to you? As a Protonmail customer, thanks for saying this. There seems…

Disclaimer: Paying Protonmail customer here Protonmail has been dishonest in their marketing. 1. Their homepage stated ""By default, we do not keep any IP logs...". Due to complain…

Protonmail required me to enter a phone number to create an account. I just did it yesterday. The text from them says "Your Proton verification code is: ######"

What's important for you about using Protonmail then?

ProtonMail requires a phone number for account creation through Tor. "no personal information"...does it still say that? Let me know where, will email them.

Agreed, it's unsustainable for ProtonMail. They should operate out of China, and then build credibility from there. "Trust us" is not viable long term. In God we trust, for everyon…

Not sure this would be a solution. In this case it seems like Protonmail wasn't logging IP but then was compelled to by law. So my assumption here is even if they stripped IPs, law…

China-Email: Would be interesting to buy email hosting from a super secure email service based out of China. Basically a "trust in math" approach where they operate despite adversa…

Similar to Apple, Protonmail seems poised to redefine privacy as "privacy from advertisers" rather than "privacy from us too". I for one am now only using Protonmail through Tor. R…

So does any non-Google email provider meet your criteria then?

24 hours later, ProtonMail deletes "By default, we do not keep any IP logs". I'll call that a win for all customers who emailed Protonmail about this. HN discussion: https://news.y…

In the decentralized scenario, the users are paying the underlying system as well as the particular itself. Check out Uniswap as an example. Users pay ether to run a process, and p…

I like that point. So in that example, is it possible to extend Signal to be used for long form messages in the same way email currently is? Will Signal eat email?

Protonmail increasingly seems like one of those Tim Ferris type scams. The one where you build a nice solution and write a bunch of blog posts... And then you just let it run for 1…
