This wouldn't have anything to do with US internet restrictions would it? Like how multiple states place age verification on porn sites? Like how more restrictions would pop up in a MAGA admin to keep it "safe".

That wouldn't benefit Proton at all now would it? They don't serve a product that would circumvent those restrictions right? A product they sell?

ivpn and Tutanota for email/calendar/contacts. And honestly, if you're comfortable with self hosting your own stuff, Nextcloud can manage your files, calendar, contacts and all kinds of other stuff.

Damn, disappointing.

Damn, and I just switched to proton because they have port forwarding and moderate NAT so that I can effectively seed torrents.

Already cancelled my yearly renewal. I'll switch to Mullvad and save some money anyways. Never really used Proton Mail, drive, calendar, etc but I wanted to support them.
