Why most services that want to protect user privacy. Also those on privacyguides, don't have anonymous payment methods like cryptocurrencies? I pay for a few such services like email or cloud etc. but I don't know if it makes sense if my bank knows I'm using it anyway so they can sell that info to advertisers, gov, etc. In EU services like mysudo or privacy.com are unavailabe so I can't use masked cards. What is then the profit of using such services if I don't pay for them with cryptocurrencies and they can be easily linked to me?
You wrote that if the activists used proton VPN to register their mail account, proton would not have the information he needed to pass on. It’s not true cause they would probably have the same metadata about them.
No, I’m not saying that I don’t trust proton at all. I think that they have great services but as I wrote in the title - don’t put all eggs in one basket.
I think I won’t trust any company with holding ALL my data.
Ok, but what does it mean, is that, when proton will be compromised, all of your data also can be compromised. When we have our data divided between different independent services, compromising one does not mean violating the others.
If the owner of the standard notes will now be a proton, doesn't that contradict this principle? I have a proton email account but I don't want it linked to my standard notes account. I don't strongly trust companies that offer packaged services like google or Microsoft.
I prefer to have one service from one company. I am afraid that now I will have to change where I save my notes. What do you guys think about this?
I use material files but i don't know if it is still maintained? Last update is from may 2022. Any newer recommendations?
Edit. I forgot to add that I prefer open source apps
So in your opinion is not worth to use any these online services and better go offline?
