@thunderbird @GossiTheDog No word on encryption, so I guess not encrypted. Is it realistic to hope to replace an e2e encrypted service (whatever its sins) with a non-encrypted service?
@thunderbird @GossiTheDog never occurred to me to go looking until just now...

@thunderbird @GossiTheDog Isn't Mozilla (and Thunderbird as part of it) also all-in on the AI hype?
@thunderbird interesting. Will you be providing EU hosted services that observe GDPR, and with a commitment to not allow US gov/mil access?
Tell me more about whether AI was used to code this.
@thunderbird @GossiTheDog Cool. Was genAI used for this? Because that's a big issue with Proton and Tutanota and the reason people are leaving both.
@GossiTheDog @protonprivacy I have literally spent TWO YEARS weaning my family off Google, and now this crap. And my sub is up for renewal in November. 🤯
@GossiTheDog @protonprivacy can’t wait for @davidgerard’s video on this one. 😁
Impose cost by moving, the CEO might stop thinking like this when reality hits.
Here's Proton's AI manifesto in full, leaked. It's proper brainrot management stuff.

@GossiTheDog This makes my skin crawl. Holy hell. Full psychosis, borderline sociopathic.
I'm being serious btw when I say everybody should get off ProtonVPN, ProtonMail, ProtonDrive, Proton everything unless they learn and 180.
Aside from the AI brainrot and non-care for basic customer security and privacy practices, their CEO is an abusive dude who does not deserve your money, and he's surrounded himself with senior managers who do not know what they doing.
So @protonprivacy has plunged themselves into a crisis now over AI obsession and mistreating staff. Customers are leaving.
The CEO has popped up on Reddit to try to reassure customers.. who are mass downvoting his replies.
Almost every single post on Proton’s customer forum is now asking @protonprivacy’s CEO and CTO step aside. https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas HT @mttaggart

@GossiTheDog Oh no, I didn't know. Now I have to find a replacement. That sucks.
Recently I always kept an eye on https://drewdevault.com/weird-guys/
- it's helpful to see if it's one of their weird little projects.
Not really exhaustive for countries other than the US/UK, but since all of these weirdos are now connected it makes them easier to spot (esp. if someone talks about these people positively).
What I found missing are all the EU Techbros supporting Steve Bannons "The Movement" Fash-Club, but it's a start…
@GossiTheDog If you’re looking for alternatives, might we suggest checking out Thundermail, our new privacy-focused email service currently in beta. Get expedited access with this link: https://explore.thunderbird.net/thundermail-waitlist-rd4545
