The “privacy-first” company surprised its user base when CEO Andy Yen lauded Trump on social media.
I had just rolled over all my stuff to them, I cancelled and now on the look out for someone who doesnt wanna lick shine the boots.
Do your own research, but some other options:
Looks like self hosted may be the only option :(
https://mailinabox.email can make self-hosting fairly painless. Just be sure to check that the IP you use isn’t on a black list (which mailinabox checks for you).
If they’d waited like two more weeks for this fuckup I would’ve been a paying user.
Jesus fuckin Christ, they too? Time to migrate emails AGAIN. Anyone knows a good alternative?
Tutanota pops up a lot as the primary competitor (or at least it used to)
thanks!
I’ve gone with Posteo + Addy.io
Man. Do I really have to switch again? God damn.
I actually like their web UI and their support is really good.
It is so bad that the Proton CEO turned out to be a wannabe American tech oligarch. There is no way he meant what he said (if he actually meant it then he is a complete idiot);.
Disgusting and infuriating.
I can understand supporting an ideology but I cannot understand supporting the Republican Party of the United States as of 2025 or whatever flavor of anti-humanity garbage they stand for this afternoon.
Cmon Intercept, youre better than that headline.
It was already red flag when they announced they’re bitcoin maximalist.
Another such article, is it really so difficult to have proper journalism anymore? Opinionated… We really have to bash again and again because of a mistake, disregarding years of good work? I know it’s difficult for Americans to trust anything nowadays, but please get a hold of yourself…
Its kind of weird for The Intercept to be like this. The headline is an outright lie. They’re normally pretty good integrity wise.
Also their mail is handled by Proton, which is interesting. Also not disclosed in the article as most journalism organisations would do.
From the article:
(The Intercept uses Proton Mail as its email provider.)
Oh
