Please suggest a good and relatively affordable private email provider. I am considering tuta, mailbox right now. I know proton has gone rogue.

I cannot self host one and the email provider must be somewhat reputable as I will be using this for my work portfolio. Anything with €1-€3 per month is encouraged.

    Been using Mailbox for years without any issue. German reliability. But the fact that one of Proton’s directors revealed that he agrees with 75 million Americans does not mean that a whole company, based in Switzerland and with many other stakeholders, has “gone rogue”. I’m not getting into a new fight about this here but I really think American progressives need to drop this religious approach to dissent and heterodoxy and just relax a little. It will be okay.

      It was the company’s official stance per their official social media account. Not just the CEO/one board member.

        The CEO is a big enough douche that I’ll not migrate to them.

        It was a stunt, by an idiot to try to gain favor with trump. He was probably trying for a cabinet position in his tech bro circle. If it’s his intent, and he owns majority share, it’s their intent.

        If he doesn’t own a majority share, they’re all complicit

        When PR rolled in to wash out the stain, he just ran is mouth about not being political, even though he was literally just political.

        As far as the company goes, they outed an Activist, so they’re not privacy first. They’ll sell you up the river in a second if someone with any power or money asks.

        They’re private enough not to sell your data/eyes like google/microsoft (for now). I suspect if sony starts going after torrenters in this new world order we’ve got brewing, they wouldn’t hesitate to out you.

      Are you kidding me right now? You call a fascist takeover a bit of “dissent” that we need to “relax a little” about?

      You think the CEO of a privacy company coming out in support of a dictator who wants to erode rights and abolish privacy laws, and believes in jailing dissenters, to not have gone rogue?

      We literally have American citizens being sent to an offshore military concentration camp so their lawful rights can be waived, and you think that’s okay?!
