I have already explained to you several times what my issue with Proton is. If you are incapable of understanding that is okay.
You don't understand how payment is processed and no a VPN does not have to process their payment differently. There is no requirement to hold onto meta data. Once again you are failing to grasp. I believe you are just acting obtuse at this point.
You are just a fanboy who licks the boots of the business they pay for.
You’ve failed to explain yourself properly or make any coherent point or provide any evidence of your baseless claims.
You clearly don’t understand how payment processing works, but since I do I will tell you that yes, there’s a big difference between an ephemeral VPN service that doesn’t need to tie any long term data to your account, and an email service that has to secure and maintain your data for you over a long period of time. These are two wildly different service models and There is in fact a requirement to hold onto payment data in this case. This is why all of Protons competitors do the same thing.
Your technological ignorance and naïveté to the world is not an indictment of Proton. And since you still after all of this time haven’t make a single coherent argument against proton or provided any proof to any of your claims, I’ll have to call it here.
What is that, it is hard to hear you with the boot in your mouth. Maybe you should upgrade your Proton plan. What a dumbass.
Nice try, begone bot. Come prepared next time. You are banished back to big tech land. Back to Gmail with you
