Google is one of the biggest obstacles to privacy. This article will explore how and why to de-Google yourself to reclaim and protect your digital privacy.
10 years later: De-Proton your life.
100%. They’ll eventually turn evil. I self-host as much as I can.
This is just a long advertisement
Oh absolutely, it’s just an ad for Proton products. That doesn’t make the point about degoogling any less relevant.
What are the alternatives though? Self-hosting an email server is practically impossible because spam detection will block you on every turn.
Just wait until you start using Proton mail. Damn thing spams your inbox with so many of its own services and offers
You can turn off all of those emails. At least I can, but I pay for it. There’s like 3-5 toggles in settings to select what communications I would like to receive from Proton.
I’m all for anything that can replace Google
Basically an advertisement for their services, but since they’re shitting on Google’s ad revenue model I’m all for it.
I will not shit on Google completely myself though, because I do appreciate (other than a few naughty shenanigans they’ve pulled recently) their work on the Android kernel.
Completely self serving though. Mobile is a personal data goldmine and Google gotta dig into that one way or another and if folks can contribute to that side with bug fixes, great.
This is a good thing, but it is too much advertising proton’s services
Proton is CIA and basically modern Crypto AG. https://encryp.ch/blog/disturbing-facts-about-protonmail/
The CIA-funded companies are quite easy to spot since they publically support US-backed coups out of nowhere seemingly for no reason.
Edit: here’s an example. Notepad++ has a version named “Stand with Hong Kong”. They were later found to have a CIA backdoor in one of their DLLs.
Proton also openly supported the HK riots, which were US backed. https://youtu.be/XoyGc41wcwc
They (Proton) are a Taiwanese company and raising money for HK riots and blogging about supporting them is extremely uncharacteristic of one. They are not willing to stick their necks out like that. They’re ultra conservative when it comes to PR and marketing.
In fact, I dare anyone here to find any other Taiwanese company that did/does such a thing.
A differing view for the interest of making people decide for themselves https://brian.carnell.com/articles/2021/the-truth-about-the-truth-about-protonmail/
Very very weak attempt at debunking.
I wasn’t trying to debunk your view I believe that people should be able to see two sides and decide for themselves. Sorry you got upset with that.
anything I don’t personally agree with must be weak lies
I’d like to drop this amazing blog here: https://digdeeper.club/articles/email.xhtml#protonmail
