hot take: @protonprivacy didn’t fail you. YOUR OPSEC failed you.

encryption ≠ anonymity. these are not the same thing and never have been.

Proton did exactly what they said they’d do - encrypted your emails and complied with lawful Swiss legal orders. that’s the whole deal. that’s what you signed up for.

the credit card you used to pay for your “anonymous” account was never part of the encryption. that was always traceable. that was always a liability.

and here’s the kicker - Proton literally accepts Monero and cash. they gave you the tools. you chose the Visa.
