Today is the 10th anniversary of Proton's 2014 crowdfunding campaign where the community came together to make our journey possible. From the start, Proton has always put people ahead of profits, and today we're formalizing that by transitioning towards a non-profit structure. We're here to serve you, and we look forward to continuing to commit Proton to the public good for the next 10 years and beyond. https://proton.me/blog/proton-non-profit-foundation 49 comments
@protonprivacy Aweeeeesome. :partyparrot: :partyparrot: :partyparrot: :partyparrot: I remember when it was just small invite only email service that "meant to be big".. and here we are a decade later, it's big, it's important, and it gets better every day. For others: a clickable link (for me on Mastodon the link is not clickable as it doesn't have the protocol prefix): @protonprivacy great stuff, because of this I just signed up to mail plus! I have been meaning to for ages, but free had all the features I needed, still does but even more keen to support you now!  hey @protonprivacy, mind adding alt text to the image for the visually impaired? @protonprivacy Chciałbym by proton wspierał sieci offline. np. SSB (https://www.manyver.se/) lub podobne. @madeindex I don’t see a mention of #FOSS by @protonprivacy. Is your reply a criticism of #capitalism?  @madeindex @protonprivacy Ah, you want “free as in beer,” not “free as in speech.” People who like to turn stuff into ideologies call the former “#anticapitalism.” People who consistently practice it are called “looters.” Not sure what you refer to? Only asked if they meant to criticize "FREE" FOSS, because it sounds like they criticize those projects funding models. @madeindex @protonprivacy You do realize that the “F” in #FOSS already stands for “free” and that it has nothing to do with funding, right? @mjgardner @protonprivacy @madeindex My other reply to @protonprivacy’s post might help you: https://social.sdf.org/@mjgardner/112632463478342304 @protonprivacy Happy anniversary and thanks for making the Internet a better place! Keep up the great work! :dancing_banana:  @protonprivacy i expected proton to get enshittified like seemingly all other for-profit services eventually so this is a pleasant and welcome surprise :blobcatcoffee: @protonprivacy
Congrats Wishing for many more years to come Any plans to develop apps for EMUI based phones? @protonprivacy #Proton’s been great, but if you believe the “people before profits” mantra never evolves into “*some* people before profits,” then I have a bridge to donate to your foundation. “Profits” aren’t evil. They’re just the result of customers exchanging *their* profits for the result of your work. The evil comes from disconnecting that exchange by relying on sustenance from non-users. That can just as easily come from donors or governments as it can from advertisers.  @protonprivacy Are you still keeping users's IP addresses and will give the. To the "authorities" if asked? (https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2021/09/protonmail-hands-users-ip-address-and-device-info-to-police-showing-the-limits-of-private-email) @Johns_priv Hi there, as the linked article states, the identity and location of the activist was already known to the French authorities. We also provide an official Proton Mail onion site for use with the Tor network for those seeking anonymity. It’s also important to differentiate that VPN is not classified as a communication tool in Switzerland — Proton VPN does not log IPs and there are no existing Swiss laws that can compel us to do so. @protonprivacy Thank you for your reply and explanation. I'll have to look again at your products in deep, as a Catalan pro-independece I never know when a Spanish government may declare my position illegal and label me a terrorist @Johns_priv Regarding that case, the name/address of the terrorism suspect was actually given to police by Apple, not Proton. The terror suspect added their real-life Apple email as an optional recovery address in Proton Mail. Proton can't decrypt data, but in terror cases Swiss courts can obtain recovery email. Setting a recovery email is optional, and you can read about other recovery methods here: https://proton.me/support/set-account-recovery-methods @protonprivacy awesome news! Thank you for everything you're doing. And happy birthday! :vivaldia_heart: @protonprivacy so this more like the OpenAI take on nfp structure than the Signal/Mozilla take on nfp? |
