A list of online services to regain control over your privacy online
- swizzccp 2y agoJust spam from the proton team, they really are notorious spammers. How could anyone trust a "privacy" company that does such shady marketing? Look at antics on Reddit for a primer sadly now on linux org even.
- fracus 2y agoApparently Protonmail have been cozying up to Trump as well. I've heard Tuta to be a good alternative I'm trying out. They are also encrypted but I think they also spam you with their "plans".
- gausswho 2y agoGot any details on this apparent cozying?

- gausswho 2y agoI'm four days later responding, but for what it's worth I find this source to be damning of email as a captured protocol, but meh on the implication that the Proton management is cozy to the Trump administration. Rather just clumsy in the quiet part out loud way.
- fracus 2y agoYou can't wake a person pretending to be asleep.
- kwar13 2y agoMind elaborating a bit? This is the first time I'm hearing this. I thought their entire selling point was privacy and end-to-end encryption for emails.
- quickslowdown 2y agoThat encryption is flimsy, they can (and do) break it for governments.
- pixelpoet 2y agoPretty ironic that the cookie agreement is one of those ones where you have to click a billion times on each vendor's legitimate pain in the ass setting. Thanks for selling my data! Now please, tell me more about online privacy...
- FuriousDog 2y agoThere's one I have been trying for now Zunu suite by ziroh labs
- bbbhltz 2y agoThe first list on the thread is not the greatest advice, in my opinion. But, I suppose that is a good way to start a thread: mix reasonable with unreasonable. Later commments mix security and privacy together.
- lazyeye 2y agoMuch better https://www.privacytools.io/ https://www.privacytools.io/
- morjom 2y agoOr https://www.privacyguides.org https://www.privacyguides.org (I do remember there was some debaucle between the sites)
- aspenmayer 2y ago> (I do remember there was some debaucle between the sites) That's putting it lightly, per Privacy Guides: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/about/privacytools/ https://www.privacyguides.org/en/about/privacytools/ > PrivacyTools has become exactly the type of site we warned against on the PrivacyTools blog in 2019.
- freetonik 2y ago>Rumble instead YouTube The front page of Rumble is full of American conservative and far-right content. The company behind Rumble hosts Truth Social. A weird way to "regain control over your privacy online".
- kittikitti 2y agoAll you have to do is put in your name, phone number, email, credit card, and address and your privacy is preserved!* * Unless you missed a payment, in which case we will get our fixers with all your information to harass you until you do.
