Not that many people use email much anymore, but as you often need an email address to sign up for other shit… anyway, I need a better option than gmail, I’m sure you can appreciate why. Email is so old school at this point that most of the time I don’t even think about it anymore.

Anyway, I need some email options that aren’t gmail or otherwise attached to a billionaire. I’m not really interested in non-email methods of communication, I’m specifically asking about email.

Thanks in advance.

Proton have shown recently they are very much pro-cop and pro-trump and so aren’t that private or worthwhile any more.

I’ve been a Proton customer for over 4 years and I’m leaving because of this. Don’t use Proton.

They’re against censorship and in favor of free speech. If you hear about a VPN provider that blocks their users’ access to certain things based on the owner’s political beliefs that’s a shitty VPN provider

Full disclosure. I’m not a fan of Trump. I’m just a free speech absolutist and even if I hate what someone has to say I think they should be allowed to say it.

There’s already laws against threats, slander and libel and even doxing in some places.

That is not the concern. The concern is that their free speech has indicated they support cops, which means they’re more likely to be compliant. No one is talking about this speech here, but the content of it.

Also you aren’t.

They have to comply with Swiss laws, otherwise their business would be illegal.

Don’t be a scumbag and proton won’t ever be compelled to snitch on you
