They praised the republican party once. I saw a medium article that showed they do praise left wing things a lot more. I still cancelled my subscription because i don't want a service that is politically neutral with that disgusting party.
Well it is Switzerland, they remained neutral even when the you know who rose to power. I will keep a free plan for the time being. It is early for making changes again, but i am glad that i am Google free after so many years.
No worries, Switzerland is a neutral country! 🤪
Switch to posteo or mailbox.org.
regarding privacy concerns - is mailbox.org a problem as Germany belongs to the 14 eyes treaty?
Data that authorities may be interested in:
- Contact data: This includes the name, address and phone number of the account holder, as well as details about their contract with us.
- E-mail data: Access to all e-mails currently held in an account's mailbox.
- Traffic data: The IP addresses associated with mail server logins when fetching, reading, or sending e-mails.
- Telecommunications interception data: Obtained through the temporary surveillance of all ongoing e-mail communication of an account.
They may be 'interested in', but does that mean they're readily available for them to share with whoever wants them?
Not this thing again. This has been unnecessarily over-blown topic and has been explained since. Please don't stir unnecessary drama again.
@nuko147 I mean, that was economically the best thing they could do. Without the republicans and trump, the run on European alternatives and therefor for Protonmail wouldn’t be that strong like it is now 😅but yeah on a personal level that’s really rubbish.
The bad thing is that i learned about it after having migrating all my accounts from Google. I am feeling bad now, but there are many accounts and i can not really move again. Who the hell had the idea to connect every website account to an email in the 1st place. Seems a bit ancient mechanic right now.
The actual solution to that is using your own domain for email which can then be transferred between providers. But yeah changing everything again is annoying.
@MicrowavedTea @nuko147 All our e-mail, except for some junk with GMail, is on my own domains and has been so for the last 20+ years.
Also again a mail server here at home on the domain pointing to our Internet connection.
Some admin mail is on the domain of our ISP, where I probably should change that to my own domain also on that mailbox with our ISP.
BTW, our ISP is fully trustworthy I'd say, we didn't pick them for the price of the service...
@nuko147 yeah that's right. I am in the lucky possition to own my own domain, so a swap in the "backend" with a provider is fine so far. But I also struggle at the moment to find a new one, luckily I have time until next year, because my contract then runs out.
