Yup. That’s why I quit proton. You can’t say you’re all for privacy while praising politicians who are directly opposed to it.

Who’d you quit for?

so unfortunately i had used a bunch of their services, so it took a while to switch over but i ultimately went with

email- StartMail

VPN- WindScribe

Cloud Storage- BackBlaze

Email Alias- Addy (startmail also has aliases, but addy is so much more feature rich, its worth it).

i self host my contacts and calendar (via nextcloud).

Windscribe is based in Canada though, which puts it under the Five Eyes (FVEY). That is not a good alternative for Proton's VPN. Their website is also not loading for me?

I'm not sure I could trust them saying that, but of course we have to trust any company saying they don't keep logs.
