Unfortunately, RiMusic is dead now; I recommend Kreate, which is a fork of it

Good starter list of tools. Some things missing, so I won't call it a comprehensive list, but it doesn't seem it was ever meant to be that. So, all in all, very good collection.

That privacy list seems, on first impression, not very well thought out, honestly.

Yet you provide no feedback on how to fix it

This list still recommends Bromite and Silence, which are both very dead. Bromite has been forked to Cromite.

Advocating for a shitcoin instead of a privacy-focused Bitcoin or Monero wallet is such a red flag

I see Monero listed but didn't see the shitcoin. There's a lot on the page, can you point me to it?

In the meantime I'll edit the post to say that there are concerns with the linked page.

Airgap on the right

Okay, whoever recommends Proton as a reliable source of online privacy should be immediately be seen as an op. That fucker caved under pressure by agencies.

Are there any providers that refuse to comply with law enforcement? The best seems to be the ones that only collect the bare minimum amount of data in the first place

N0VERCLOCKER@discuss.tchncs.de · 15 pts · 340d

Any that refuse to comply with legal requirements won't be around for long so it is hard to have a list of them or rely on them.

There is myself

All companies have to comply with local laws. Even a huge company like Apple has to submit to laws of any country they operate in.

They purposely logged information in their mail servers which resulted in a protestor being arrested. You can easily design a service not to record such data (Ex: PIA).

You talking about the French protester from several years ago? Yeah, bud didn't even take the smallest step, like using a vpn, to protect himself. At the time, Proton said if a vpn was used they wouldn't have any data to give to the cops.

Same thing would have happened if the protester was using Tuta or any other email service.

Some organizations don't. Yes this issue is not proton, but the capitalism. Anyway proton is not safe
