Protonmail makes it easy. Even today using PGP Email is not something I would trust the average computer user to pull off and pull it off safely

> Even today using PGP Email is not something I would trust the average computer user to pull off and pull it off safely I'd argue it is not that complicated once you take the time to explain how it works.

If I have to explain it, it's already a lost cause. If you want any hope of PGP being widespread, or any cryptosystem for that matter, you need to have it being self-explanatory.

Someone at the age of 90 should be able to download the software, click a "yes" button and secure their mail.

Secure E-Mail must be as DAU-proof as possible.

Huh. I've had my original handle here shadow-banned for upvoting a low-effort/joke comment (I hadn't posting anything since months). I think yours would've been a more appropriate punishment for me if I was so bad at upvoting lol.

We wouldn't ban anyone for that reason. What was the username?

Hi, Sorry didn't see this earlier. The username is: salmanapk. Thanks for looking into this!

When was your account created? Mine was created in the previous 30 days. I even had brought up the browser's dev tools and tried to disable that setting but with no luck. It might had been a A/B test, or specific only to my country, but the point remains that it was a separate setting than the signature and it was impossible to disable it without paying. On desktop.

Are you still able to manually delete the added line from your email messages at compose time?

Thank you for sticking with me, I'll try to create a new account in a few days. I don't rule out the possibility I am wrong about this.

It isn't limited to Vodafone. The original headline is "ProtonMail is being blocked in Turkey. Here’s how to bypass Turkey’s online censorship."

I read the article not only the title. i would also recommend you to read the article.

I did read the article before answering you. I referred you to the original headline because it better fits the article's contents, not because I stopped reading there.

In the article they are stating that Vodafone users can not access to proton services. They have written they have seen some complaints from other ISP users as well but there is neither a statement nor a clue that it is blocked by other ISPs as well. After all, the fact is that it is not blocked by other ISPs only by Vodafone.
