Earlier quoted context omitted.

It is just a default email signature that you can see in your compose window and delete manually if you do not wish to pay.

No, it is not. It is not related to the signature settings anymore.

It is. They add it automatically on mobile but you can delete it. And it's never on desktop. Just tried to send from both clients and didn't have any extra added to the message.

A small note (though it may be unrelated), some ip address ranges are not accessible from Vodafone TR (3G/4G) connections.

216.239.36.219 So it may be a misconfiguration on Vodafone TR Network, routers or such thing. Sample curl output below.

  $ time curl -vki 216.239.36.219
  * rebuilt url to: 216.239.36.219/
  * trying 216.239.36.219...
  * connected to 216.239.36.219 (216.239.36.219) port 80 (#0)
  > get / http/1.1
  > host: 216.239.36.219
  > user-agent: curl/7.47.0
  > accept: */*

I lived in Izmir in the 90's, and the vibe was actually fairly liberal. The locals seemed to feel pretty free, optimistic, and not overly worried about their government. Sad to see things regressing so much.

This is why the rest of Turkey calls İzmir "kâfir". They are the most secular bunch. They are also very pro-ataturk. AKP's projects for that region include bringing migrants to dilute the voter population.

This is nothing to do with the current issue at hand. Istanbul was just as liberal and nice of a city as anywhere else, but then the last decade happened.

Maybe if as a people we stopped thinking in terms of funny plots like "they are trying to dilute the peeps" and opened our eyes to the facts before our eyes, we'd be in a better shape.

They recommend ProtonVPN. Does anyone know the legal ramifications of using a vpn with shared exit nodes? EG: A 'crack' squad of computer crime investigators in Jackson Mississippi track illegally uploaded content to a forum originating from ip address [39.21.2.32] (which is a VPN exit node). Unbeknownst to you that is YOUR exit node now. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/09/digital-equivalent-rum...

In these cases, a request for the identity of the account associated with $IP at $timestamp would typically receive a response such as "$IP is a shared IP address used by many different accounts simultaneously. As we do not log individual sessions at layer 4, it is impossible for us to provide you with this account information."

Seemingly this is nothing to do with the government, as controlling through the website of the insitution where there's a form to check if a given domain is blocked [1], it tells me that there are "no blocks on this domain", i.e. protonmail.com. You can try instead wikipedia.org to see what it looks like when a domain is blocked.

Actually, I am not sure if it wise to circumvent that block. I mean its probably as easy as typing echo "8.8.8.8" > /etc/hosts to a root shell, but since we know that in the past people have been send to prison, just because some app on their phone requested an URL from the wrong domain, I suspect that something similarly can happen to the people who try to use Proton mail. On the other hand, if everybody stops using…

Presumably, you mean:

  echo 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf

Everywhere is regressing at the moment. Brexit, US protectionism, China's a dictatorship again. It's like none of the 'leaders of the world' have read any history. Or they have, and are arrogant enough to think 'that won't happen now that I'M in charge'.

Turkey is special. They openly arrest Journalists opposing the government. Prisons in Turkey currently have the highest literacy rates in the country. People outside of Turkey who oppose Erdogan are threatened by either turkish accounts or even locals (I've seen this happening in a private whatsapp group from a school class I graduate a while ago where someone was threatened bodily harm if they did not retract statements about Erdogan)

It is an authoritarian, Orwellian government out of the book.

Yes, I am sure everything you have to say is going to save the country. Maybe we should meet over a drink?
