  • Where does it say “zero trust” ‘on Protons own page’? It does not say “zero-trust” anywhere, it says “zero-access”. The data is encrypted at rest, so it is not e2ee. They never mention end-to-end encryption for Lumo, except for ghost mode, and they are talking about the chat once it’s complete and you choose to leave it there to use later, not about the prompts you send in.

    Zero-access encryption

    Your chats are stored using our battle-tested zero-access encryption, so even we can’t read them, similar to other Proton services such as Proton MailProton Drive, and Proton Pass. Our encryption is open source and trusted by over 100 million people to secure their data.

    Which means that they are not advertising anything they are not doing or cannot do.

    By posting this disinformation all you’re achieving is getting people to pedal back to all the shit services out there for “free” because many will start believing that privacy is way harder than it actually is so ‘what’s the point’ or, even worse, no alternative will help me be more private so I might as well just stop trying.











  • I am (was?) one of those. Working on eliminating or changing the passwords and emails of my 550+ accounts. I’m creating a simplelogin email for each of the ones I’m keeping, setting up a randomly generated password for each as well (24+ characters long with every possible character available), trying to delete the accounts of services I don’t want/need anymore, and then setting up 2fa on Aegis if they don’t accept a hardware tokens.

    But it’s an intense and long process, though absolutely worth it. With work and personal life, I’m guessing I can be done in a couple of weeks.







  • This is the way of the world, but only because people are allowing it. I will never understand “I’m too lazy to care about my privacy”, which undermines our security way more than we even know.

    The worst part is that, no matter how some of us care and do something about our privacy, the ones that we interact with that don’t care still expose us to all this BS. Until the world changes it’s mindset, this will not change, and only get worse (I’m not holding my breath for people to care though).
