I’m seeing a lot of infosec kids and now leftist accounts(!) defend proton on the grounds that it’s not reasonable for them to anonymize payment details

so uhhh here’s the open source tech signal uses to anonymize payments for their only paid feature: https://signal.org/blog/introducing-secure-backups/ and there’s other ways to do it too
there’s also no reason for proton to strongly link logins with message metadata. signal doesn’t, even though its login UI uses phone numbers, which are of similar sensitivity to emails.

proton collects and correlates a ridiculous amount of metadata for what it is and how it’s marketed
but you know what? maybe their poor former CERN current bitcoiner LLM enthusiast far-right-defending (for years before their CEO made that one post) cryptographers don’t know how to use ZK proofs or any other technique to keep their users safe
if that’s the case maybe they can use a fraction of their marketing budget to make damn sure their users know that?

@zzt It is quite the business model to sell "security and privacy" to everyone but those needing it most
I hope that doesn't come off wrong
