Their Swiss CEO decided that supporting an authoritarian American neo nazi regime was a good idea

And they decided that posting on Mastodon was bad so switched back to r*****.

How very neutral of him.

He's not Swiss, he's from Taiwan

There is that, but did anything happen to the service itself?

[–] PlexSheep 8 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Personally, I feel like their service, except for VPN, was always half assed.

  • No access to SMTP for automation
  • Need to use that shitty bridge to use a useful client
  • No pgp encryption in their web interface when talking to people not at proton
  • proton drive does not offer any useful protocol like ftp, webdav, or sftp
  • Calendar and Contacts cannot be easily synchronized to phone and desktop apps

The list goes on. I have only one account left with a proton email and the letter with a code so I can change that lies on my desk.

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 months ago

Good point. I actually quit proton a few years ago because of the lack of SMTP and caldav.

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

They definitely allow you to use pgp with people not at proton via the web ui.

There is no way to have a secure or private SMTP service.

[–] PlexSheep 1 points 5 months ago

Huh? STARTTLS? PGP encryption? What's wrong with those?

[–] firadin@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

If you're on Proton to be privacy-oriented and stop governments or corporations from accessing your data, do you really trust the company when their CEO is cozying up to an authoritarian regime? I just don't see Proton fighting any information requests from Trump right now, and just from a utilitarian perspective that makes them a bad choice for me as a user.
