Between proton accounts, mails are fully E2E encrypted. It’s just not a lot harder between different mail providers like Gmail and Hotmail. Proton does save the received emails fully encrypted, but that encryption has to be done on the server.
It is possible though, it just depends on tje sender/receiver: https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained
Interesting system! Correct me if I’m wrong though, but buying credits does look like it’s not an automatically recurring payment (to buy credits), so that makes sense (they do keep the receipts though according to their privacy policy. Decoupled from the account, but they do keep data).
That’s a bit different from Proton’s credit card payment method (which is the case here) that automatically recurs. If Posteo offered automatically recurring payments, they’d have to save payment data as well (which they also explain in the privacy policy).
To be clear, Proton does also offer more private ways of paying. Paying by credit card is not the only option. Bitcoin or cash is also possible. I just found out that Proton does also actually offer a credit system as well, but it’s unclear to me if that’s decoupled or not. Definitely a place where they could do better.
Not sure, they do seem to store something (pretty unclear what though), but I’m guessing that can be fully decoupled from a user’s account, since it’s unrelated to the actual service.
Indeed, but those are crypto payments from a third party crypto wallet. It’s also between users and not recurring, so Signal has no reason to keep the data.
This comparison makes no sense.
Signal doesn’t have payment data. It’s not a paid service. Proton is a paid subscription service and that payment data needs to be accessible in order to charge the user and they’re not a payment processor.
Switzerland used to be one of the best countries for it, but indeed not anymore. Proton is well aware and has already moved some infrastructure out of Switzerland.
Signal demonstrated that you can decouple payment info from account info
How did Signal demonstrate this? Signal is not a paid subscription service
Huh? The game studios pay the licenses, the artists etc. Why on earth would you then hold the store accountable? This is double dipping. That’s like charging a CD store for selling your CDs.
This shit is why the music industry is despised.
Lol, what competition? If anything this’ll increase it, since suddenly, there’s room for others.
Xbox needs a subscription? To play the games you own?
No, you don’t. You can play the games you own just fine without one. They probably mean either the gamepass subscription or xbox live subscription.
Both. Weaponised stupidity
More or less, yeah.
From what I know, Wero is based on the standard Dutch payment service iDeal. iDeal becoming more international is something I’m very happy with as it works great.
Just to make sure, uNlock or uBlock origin?
