Proton Mail Says It’s “Politically Neutral” While Praising Republican Party
The “privacy-first” company surprised its user base when CEO Andy Yen lauded Trump on social media.
You’re right. I finished reading their website only after commenting. Guess I’m not their target audience then. I prefer doing encryption on my device, as most of my regular mails come in unsecure and unencrypted anyways. And I guess we’d have to replace email in it’s entirety with a more modern protocol to make it secure and usable. I mean my bank, internet service provider and almost everyone stopped sending me invoices, bills etc via mail already years ago. And it’s not like they offer to do it via Tuta secure mail… So I guess all of these services are niche and limited by the trade-offs they need to invent.
I’m hoping email will be replaced by the protocol companies agree upon when the Digital Markets Act kicked in and forced interoperability between messaging clients. Once that happens, hopefully all we will need to share is
$username@service
and be able to communicate using a secure protocol.When that will happens is another question though. I really thought implementation would’ve been done by now since Matrix already is the right protocol for interopability, but it looks like Facebook wants to or has already built a custom protocol with demands to track users 🙄 I hope the EU commission will have a word with them.
