You really want to give your email provider your phone number. "Privacy" for instances that assemble botnets and block VPNs doesn't even include avoiding metadata collection. You guys are simply very salty and lazy that the best-advertised options are all connected to NATO intelligence agencies. Which really should be obvious to any person that hasn't thrown their intuition in the garbage due to its interference with their entertainment. You really bought the Swiss Nazi neutrality ploy, closing in on a century past its expiration date. Is this not bleak?
It’s an observation. Who’s salty? Source me every one of your claims as it pertains to Proton.
Literally a reply from a block of salt.
Who? them or me? I just wanted to see where the user was getting their claims from because they leveled a lot of shitty assumptions my way for no reason and I just wanted to learn.
So salty then.
Lol. Guess so. Thanks for the laugh.
