>>107821575
Oh no, you were prevented from taking up resources on somebody else's server on their dime so you could make a throwaway email for a forum or something that they have to then maintain until you decide to delete it, which you won't because it was a throwaway.

You're so oppressed. Woe is you. You should get a national holiday.
>>
>>107821575
Um sweaty, they only read your emails for your own good, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear mkay?
>>
>>107821575
I don't get it.

>>107821675
i dont know of a single public service that doesnt at least use snort to scan emails

scam

>>107821660
>so you could make a throwaway email for a forum or something
Even if it was a "legitimate" account what else than activation codes would you use it for?
>>
>>107821896
Yeah, you're right. Nobody uses email for anything other than activation codes.
>>
Can someone translate shizo?
>>
>>107821575
next youll tell me they prevent you from using free and open source email clients. oh, wait
>>
>>107821916
What was the last time you used email for anything else other than registration? Do you talk with your friends using gmail? People who send work emails use paid mail services with custom domains, not free proton.
>>
>>107821942
OP signed up for a known pedo site that's blacklisted for good reason
>>
>>107821575
It's false advertising. They literally gave mail access to authorities when asked. There's a case documenting this.
>>
>>107822270
I'm not going to argue with you, you're being ridiculous.
>>
>>107822549
Would you say having a single termite in your house is a problem?
>>
>>107821575
I don't get retards on this board that care about privacy but are connected to the internet, homie your ISP literally knows when you rape your daughter.
>>

Yeah makes sense

this.
"we care about le proovacy, here we even accept le bitcoin hacker coin, anonymous money. what? no, of course we don't accept monero, because uhhhhhh fuck you"

wait, is he?

no, not even a million. my house is made of stone and concrete. only 4th worlder poorfags live in cardboard and wood copy pasted "houses"
>>
>>107821575
They have to take some precautions to not have the protonmail domain blacklisted like those temporary email address services, because that would affect all customers. The measures are not that hard to circumvent though.
>>
>>107822684
really weird how you totally missed the point of the rhetorical question (I know you didn't miss the point and you're being disingenuous)
>>
>>107822695
What point? That a user creating an email account to recieve one email is so incredibly expensive and taxing on a multi million dollar company's hardware? That point? Are you, by any chance, retarded?
>>
>>107822717
I don't know why you keep replying if you accept that you missed the point. I'm not going to continue this conversation. You have a very unrealistic worldview and you just like arguing.
>>
>>107822700
It literally does, and you cannot prove otherwise, even if you use your cuck shed of a VPN, now 2 ends know everything you do.
But hey, keep typing like an uneducated nigger, because that's literally what you are, so it suits you.
>>
>>107822285
What about adult, no p3d0 sites?
>>
>>107822726
I do like arguing and it seems that you are in fact retarded, which means one thing: infinite entertainment for me :)
>>
>>107822520
Well you cared enough to make a reply, could've as well just say why you think so. But since you didn't, I think it's safe to assume you actually have nothing to say.
>>
>web search: protonmail authorities give access email
>several articles with different dates about protonmail sharing user data with law enforcement
You deserve to get caught for being retarded.
>>
>>107822700
>>107822549
lol get banned
>>
>>107821812
>no you cannot sign up a fresh account via our onion url
Why would you let your users do this?
>>
>>107822775
You're hilarious lmao, wish I was as deluded as you are, you must be happy all the time because there is no factual thoughts within your skull, lowkey jelly.
>>
>>107821942
Op probably made too many accounts, and didn't sign out of his VPN mail

They dont' ban you, it just doesn't count as activity, and that's what locks it, since the account is "not being used" afik, ou dont need more than 2 accounts, make one for your normie stuff on your phone with data, and one on your pc
also there's a difference between 1-2 activation codes and OP probably using the identity thing in the same site over and over again for a fresh account,
>>
>>107822829
Alright, big boy, show us how "ISPs can still see everything when you use a VPN". Please, go in. I'm sure you can.
>>
>>107822767
they only shared IPs afik,
>>
>>107821575
>doesnt let me use it with thunderbird or download my emails locally
>>
>>107822864

>>
>>107822860
why ar you even arguing with this guy, these are bot tier arguments, no matter the language, there's always schizos making fun of peolle that care about privacy and try to mislead everyon into thinking VPNs do nothing its like arguing with a atheist about religion or that one guy that goes to /x/ to argue that nothing paranormal exist, etc
>>
>>107822860
>>107822875
nta but 2 of you post on 4chink you literally got 0 privacy even with a vpn ape already proved it on his twitter
>>
>>107822875
Sometimes they are onto something like when they talk about Tor being compromised and you press them about it, only to learn that yes, almost all nodes are in 14 eyes countries, with about 60% being in germany and the united states; in addition to the weird fact that they went up together and sometimes go down together too

Other times, they're just retarded. But there still could be a useful bit of information to be extracted. Idk, maybe I have too much hope
>>
>>107822894
link it. show us
>>
>>107822301
they gave them the ip they logged in with
>>
>>107822894
I literally only turn off my VPN to post here, since you can't, yeah the cookies have some shenanigans, you can deleted them once in a while and just deal with horrible captcha for a week or so
I kind of solved this by basically using 4chan on a browser and my youtube account, and mail when needed in another browser
>>107822906

I have never really used TOR, its just too inconvenient for anything, that said I've never really tried to browse on actual .onion sites, im sure there's regular cool stuff there, but I dont see the point, for now
im more interested in the I2P stuf for possible future anime/manga piracy if it ever comes down to it
>>
>>107822955
You don't have to disable your VPN. Just use the other website :)

As for the I2P and the retarded negros here, I keep seeing "I2P glows lololol" posts, only to be met with deafening silence every time I ask for any sort of proof or explanation, so I guess it's safe, for now.
>>
>>107822762
You're a faggot
>>
Do you guys use mail aliasing services like SimpleLogin?
>>
>>107821660
You talk like a faggot.
>>
>>107822906
Tor and I2P "glow" hard! Don't look up who made and funds TOR.
I personally wouldn't use them, unless you want to be found!
>>
>>107822824
>>no you cannot sign up a fresh account via our onion url
>Why would you let your users do this?
uhhh.. privacy?
>>
>>107821575
Proton hate is always justified. Fuck them
>>
>>107823281
Okey, big guy, explain how and why the I2P glows. I'm sure you can. Go on.
>>
>>107823422
I do not need to explain anything to a glow-in-the-dark. It is highly insecure and compromised. This is a factual statement.
>>
>>107823422
Nta but there's an deanon attack that's relatively simple and low cost to pull off. I wish I remembered more lol, give me a few minutes and I will see if I can find it.
>>
>>107823429
>no explanation because uhhhh it just glows, ok? Just keep using insecure unencrypted networks

That would be I2P. I do not use it as I do not use software full of vulnerabilities.

kek no it is true. protonshit is flip-flopping that. many anons tried in the past and lots of times they failed to register a protonshit email acc without providing an existing email acc first (ie, "DOX YOURSELF GOYIM")

>While Proton cannot decrypt the body of your emails or your attachments (due to zero-access encryption), they have turned over significant "metadata" and account details in response to Swiss court orders.
>IP Addresses: In 2021, Proton was forced by a Swiss court to begin logging the IP address of a French climate activist (associated with the "Youth for Climate" group). This led to their arrest. Proton clarified that while they don't log IPs by default, they can be legally compelled to start logging a specific account for a criminal investigation.
>Recovery Information: In a 2024 case involving a Spanish activist linked to "Democratic Tsunami," Proton handed over a recovery email address. This recovery address (which was a Gmail account) allowed authorities to identify the user.
>Device Metadata: In some cases, Proton has provided information about the type of device used to access the account.
>Communication Metadata: This includes sender/recipient email addresses and timestamps.
>Subject Lines: Importantly, email subject lines are not end-to-end encrypted in Proton Mail. This is a technical limitation of the OpenPGP standard they use. If served with a warrant, Proton can provide the subject lines of your emails.
>>
>>107823527
oh no, not my 10 minute mail throwaway! i've got a hundred proton accounts.
>>107823537
nothingburger. if you are doing something illegal you should be using a vpn or tor. anybody has to respond to a court order.
>>
>>107823584
you are a good goy
>>
>>107823533
This has been fixed too. I was talking about a bug that I can't find anymore. Oh well

>>107821575
It is one of the best if not the best privacy services out there.
Doesn't mean they are giving you free rein to use their services for your criminal pedo groomer activities.
Also privacy =//= anonymity.

>>107821575
I KNOW THEY CARE ABOUT ME BECAUSE THEY PAY SO MANY OF THE YOUTUBERS I SUBSCRIBE TO

Holy shit we have reached peak bootlicker on /g/.

you are already losing

"privacy" as a concept was a political tool, nothing more
if you want privacy nowadays the best deal you will get is being on someones list that you know won't be shared around
my best bet is being on a list of russians and chinese because the western world already has my data

Insane amount of retardation ITT.

how the fuck would you even get a proton email then if it was your first email service?
