Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

God. Fucking. Dam. It.

I use too many of their services right now to get everything switched over to something else before trump takes power.

The swiss better fucking jail this guy if he hands over data to the us government without swiss court approval, per swiss law.

Now I have to find a new password manager, VPN, and email provider. Open to suggestions, but I want to find services that aren't hosed in the us or by trump friendly countries/companies, and ideally use open source software and zero access encryption.

Mullvad for VPN, Bitwarden for password manager.

Yea I previously used bitwarden, my issue with it is that bitwarden is hosted in the US(which was the only reason I switched to PP), so I'm thinking about renting a vps and hosting vaultwarden in it or something.

Oh this saves me so much time and energy, thank you!

I use password store for my management. There's a client for all the major UIs. But I have SO MANY aliases in proton pass.

It might not have all the convenience of Proton Pass, but Keepass has been and probably always will be dependable.

Mullvad for VPN and Tuta for email.

I'd be interested in the Mooltipass, but they've been out of stock for over a year, saying they're working towards a new unit. Last update I saw was about a month or two ago, saying they were 'close'...
