Too heavy and button placement looks very uncomfortable but I think if this succeeds it can be good for Linux

I think they need more development I tried Jami but it was too bad for me to use I am not in USA so I think Signal will do the trick for me but you got a point

Video shows this banner at the top so not sure if that is going to be there soon?

"Instance has been shadow banned and delisted from PeerTube network. Will be shutting down in shame shortly"

Actually proposing XMPP though as an alternative is just as bad, as by default XMPP does not have OMEMO or other E2EE on by default. Telegram is one of the few mainstream messengers though that does let you hide your phone number from all other users. My reality is that although I'm on many networks such as Threema, Wickr Me, XMPP, IRC, etc I only have one or two of my real life friends / family there...

Signal requires our phone numbers to register and is in the USA. Threema, Wired, Wickr Me, and Jami are probably better.

Basic no sjw or woke nonsense

Use Signal Instead

That does not look like the correct link to the source? It is posts about the Tor Project standing up with rights of the LGBTQIA+ community. Where is the reference to any paedophile community? They're standing up for pride and privacy, which is a good thing for freedoms.

Funnily enough many seem to just accept Windows has some shortcomings too, but if Linux is not 105% then it can't be used.

For example, Windows has some serious printing system security flaws right now, and my wife has given up printing on her Windows 10 machine to my HP printer on the LAN. Yes I've had some printing issues too when the drivers on Linux update, but the fact that she sends stuff to me to print, suggests that my Linux printing is actually still more reliable ;-)

It's true that many people just stick through thick and thin with what they know even if it is not working for them (no I didn't mean politics, but that is coming to mind for some reason now). Others love beta updates and trying something different. It is pretty well much the same with social media - those that feel trapped and moan about Facebook, and those that end up on Rambler and all sorts of other stuff (so how many Rambler users are in Windows and Facebook?).

So today it's really not the OS, it is human nature I suppose. I can keep a Linux machine running, but I can't paint a picture ;-)

Yep no-one can debate a topic properly without having checked the context of the source, and any other points they want to make. Quite a few myths have been debunked in the last few years too, especially when it comes to nutrition, for example, and yet the previous beliefs were so firmly held for decades.

Perhaps regional geo-blocking through a CDN like Cloudflare, or whoever it is they use. Just a guess.

Very illuminating. Great research. Time to leave ProtonMail I think. The immediate alternatives aren't that great.

Tutanota I've had massive problems with them in the past. I've actually lost accounts there because of their so called 2FA security, the Belgian company Mailfence appears to be security-oriented but it comes at a small nominal cost. What about Rise Up? that is if you can get an account there.

Are there say three or four links you can give to us? I fully realise they have to permanently scan for a face to keep the screen alive, to unlock, etc but sounds like you have some evidence in links about them actually storing and using those photos elsewhere, in other words zero of it is AI present on the device?

Many people were listed with this, but what does it actually tell us? He may have been a target, we are not even sure if his phone was actually penetrated, and whether they found Telegram's secret description key? It seems really all conjecture at this point until we know anything definate?

Telegram is supposedly not in the business of selling user data or metadata (no hint of evidence to that effect yet) and does at least allow you to hide your phone number from all contacts. Problem is mainstream users only otherwise use WhatsApp (knowingly leaks metadata inc location to Facebook whom we all know about with their dropped balls on user privacy and advertising), and Signal which requires a phone number to register, it can't be hidden, and is hosted in the USA.

Again we sit with the problem, which is the lesser of all evils that mainstream users actually 'can' use?

Exactly the same question I was thinking, and looking forward to the answer. I know of Tutanota but what's the point of doing a massive mail migration, only to find that Tutanota is worse than ProtonMail.

You can use your own OpenPGP key with Gmail (then Google cannot see the content) but 99% of your contacts receiving it (inc businesses etc), are clueless how to decrypt it.

thanks

I had registration disabled. It's enabled now.

I will post some links with helpful information but some of it might be flawed.

It also depends of what you want to do, some need security, others need anonymity while others need invisibility.

The question is, then, who do you trust for secure email? Is email, by design, inherently 'bad' or 'flawed'?

What options does your average Joe have, outside of setting up his own mail server, and expecting his contacts to use PGP Encryption, which, may or may not be crackable by the big agencies.

Protonmail’s False Claim List

Lie: “Protonmail obeys the law”

In 2017 Protonmail seems to have used illegal cyber warfare capabilities to unlawfully break into a suspected phishing server. You can see the tweet and read about it here. They soon deleted the tweet and said: “We cannot confirm nor deny if anything happened.” In 2013 the European Union parliament voted to make hacking a crime that carried a prison sentence of 2 years. “Hacking back” is also illegal under Swiss law.

Lie : Protonmail offers “Zero Access” or “End to End Encryption”

A professor who teaches computer science and cryptography Nadim Kobeissi proved that Protonmail does not provide End to End Encryption. Protonmail has since publicly acknowledged that they can decrypt anyone’s encrypted content by obtaining their password/passphrase.

Lie: Protonmail protects free speech

Protonmail has stated on Reddit that they are “controlled by the politics of the community that dominates the ProtonMail userbase”. So if a majority of their users wanted to ban an innocent minority group, Protonmail has stated they would “yield to community pressure” and ban all those users from their platform even if their terms of service are not broken. So Protonmail protects free speech as long as it agrees with the majority of their users. Protonmail is not safe for any minority group including Jews, activists or missionaries. If Protonmail has a majority group ask them to ban a minority group of users then Protonmail has stated explicitly that they will do it even if no terms of service are broken. Read Protonmail’s statements here.

Lie: “Protonmail is open source code.”

Their front end code is open source. Their back end code and mobile code is kept private. This can be confirmed by reviewing their open-source code here

Lie: “By default, we do not keep any IP logs”

Protonmail’s Privacy Policy States: “This includes, the sender & receivers, the IP addresses were emails originated from, message subject, messages sent & received times, storage space, total emails and login times.” Protonmail is also legally required to store all users data for 6 months in Switzerland.

Lie: ProtonMail does not require any personally identifiable information to register.

If a user tries to signup without personal information, via VPN or TOR, they detect it and require a “donation” with a credit/debit card or a confirmation with your personal phone.

Lie: “When a ProtonMail account is closed, data and emails are immediately deleted from production servers”

By Swiss law, Protonmail is required to record all data for 6 months. When a user deletes an email, the email and all meta-data must legally be retained for 6 months

Protonmail Claims to be “Independently Audited”.

There is only 1 company listed as conducting an Audit of Protonmail, Cyberkov.com. Cyberkov’s website says it’s connected to Harvard, MIT & CERN. And their team is full of Harvard and MIT grads, exactly like Protonmail. So Protonmail’s audit was probably done by Protonmail’s college friends or colleagues. Protonmail also shows a list of people who’ve audited their code, but anyone can email Protonmail to add their name to the list. Years later Professor Kobeissi did a real independent audit and proved Protonmail doesn’t provide “end to end encryption Privacy Watchdog

It wasn't this video but that's how jewtube is censoring content for me as a viewer.

?
weird, i can see the video with no problem even with the tampermonley turned off.
try using a script that turns that off with the extention like tampermonkey.
