Thinking of starting media creation, want to have an email address dedicated to that purpose. Don’t want to go with Gmail as I’d like to phase Google out of my life, amd Protonmail seems i correct for this because it largely wouldn’t be encrypted mail.

Recommendations?

    The CEO of Proton recently came out as a right wing partisan who supports American neofascism. I would look elsewhere for email providers, Proton is not as trustworthy as they purport to be.

        It was completely shocking, I would expect him to be smart enough not to make statements like that but I guess it’s masks off now that their guy is in power.

      That line of thinking doesn’t make any sense. I wonder what brand of clothes, electronics, vehicle, foods you’re buying. I’m sure I can find more than one neofascist, companies that fully support the Maga movement, etc… At least Proton is actually working for a better, more private internet, for more open source softwares, and is now operated as a non profit that is audited yearly by a third party. And as other people have said, Proton is not reduced to the political ideas of one board member.
