Never tried it, but I would assume if you do a Google takeout of your Google Photos, the metadata would still be kept, and then you can upload that to Proton. Have you tried that yet?


I’m quoting the page that I linked from privacyguides warning

These messengers do not have Forward Secrecy, and while they fulfill certain needs that our previous recommendations may not, we do not recommend them for long-term or sensitive communications. Any key compromise among message recipients would affect the confidentiality of all past communications.


Based on privacyguides suggestion page itself, SimpleX chat would be the next in line you can try.

Briar is only for Android AFAIK. Matrix/Element does offer E2EE chat/vid but, based on the page, it’s not recommended for long term sensitive use.

Regardless, with the current situation against encryption, any app that stays will be subject to similar conundrum about leaving/abiding the law like Signal. The ones abiding may need more scrutiny, of course.


Only protonvpn app has that issue, other apps work fine, even other proton apps like protonmail.


yes, from the iOS app store, it’s been happening for a few months whenever I try to update


update protonvpn on iOS stuck/takes forever
anyone also encounters this?

how does this work with universities and companies that use GMail/Outlook for their emails?




Trying to delete DigitalOcean acc after locked
I’m not sure whether this is the right channel to ask. Please let me know where to direct my question if you think of one more appropriate. I tried to create an account on DigitalOcean, but I got “Unable to authorize access” after I tried with my credit card. I opened a ticket and tried to see how to get my account activated. After answering some questions about my Github account and what I would use the service for (basically just web hosting and personal projects, my Github account is filled with research projects), they just flat out rejected within the next email. So I asked them to delete my account and data, because I prefer not to keep whatever they have on me if I’m not going to be able to utilize the service (e.g. some info for registration, email, my Github account name). They responded with > Unfortunately, once an account is locked, it cannot be deleted or deactivated While I understand they might keep such info to avoid future spam, they haven’t gotten back to me in terms of what I need to get it unlocked. But from the tone of the customer support, I’m afraid there is no resolution but my account details just being locked there. Any tips? I’m in the US but not in any state that has solid privacy law to appeal.
