It looks like @protonprivacy@mastodon.social directly supported a far right French YouTuber who is a holocaust denier and pro-hate just about everything that isn’t a straight white dude. Not just an automated ad, it was a direct sponsorship for which the YouTuber thanked Proton. #Proton #protonmail https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/s/0csrmIOmcw

    @chartier@toot.cafe @protonprivacy@mastodon.social Happy we didn't end up going with Proton then. We tested it for cloud storage and had it been good we'd have tested ProtonMail next. (Un)Fortunately the mobile apps for Proton Drive lacked a lot of features we wanted.

  • @chartier@toot.cafe @protonprivacy@mastodon.social I self-host my email, but this is still a bummer as that is one less reasonably secure option I can recommend to people who don't just give up and yield to the GMail monopoly. I am not even sure I can list a reliable email provider any more. Tutanota is vulnerable to German government pressure.

    @chartier@toot.cafe @protonprivacy@mastodon.social I assume it's probably their affiliate program:- https://proton.me/partners/affiliates "Becoming a Proton Partner is simple" "Get started in three easy steps." It goes on to say....... Are there any non-authorized promotion activities? Yes. Below is a non-exhaustive list of activities that we don’t allow: * Spamming on any platform (this includes, but is not limited to, blogs, forums, social media, and any other commenting system) * Any type of illegal or deceptive marketing * Use of materials that infringe upon our intellectual property rights * Cookie-stuffing * Brokering or sub-affiliates * Unethical pop-up or pop-under advertising * Fake traffic and/or conversions * Promotion on adult or gambling websites * Using Proton-branded names in PPC advertising

    @chartier@toot.cafe @holgi@chaos.social @protonprivacy@mastodon.social I'll ask here too: pointing out Proton is one thing. But where can we move on to?
