It's not just Protonmail.
Blacklists like these aggressively and unapologetically collect all privacy-focused email domains they find, including simple forwarding and tagging services. With more and more sites using these lists to reject or black-hole email addresses, it has become difficult to protect one's self from spam and cross-site account tracking.
Dear web developers, please don't use these lists. Well-intended or not, they are privacy and user-hostile.
Devs can use them to block DISPOSABLE mails, not PRIVACY legitimate emails. That’s why it is critical to remove privacy oriented email domains from such lists
That's what they claim, but in practice, they seldom distinguish between the two.
You are telling truth unfortunately. That’s why I asked help from community…
