I don’t really care if they hand metadata to authorities. I want to replace “we give you free services, in return we spy on you, then we ALSO want you to pay us later and we’ll still spy on you” with “pay us for our services, we literally can’t spy on you bc of encryption”.

Whoever has that will get my money, (well, except Proton because fuck that CEO).

I was considering buying their subscription but that’s going to be a tough sell after reading this. Anyone have any good alternatives?

I doubt it. This administration has shown the world that the US is capable of electing an administration that will do stupid shit. Even if they can trust the next administration what about the one after that?

Probably all they had to do was buy a bunch of crypto “currency” from World Liberty Financial. Nothing to see here.

It’s the only way they can be sure it’s not full of AI slop.
