You can sign up for Proton mail without providing email or phone number, as far as I recall.
Nope. Try doing it through a Tor node.
you still can, it was a bug in past that they fixed long ago
it's not a bug and it's still not possible, it's for tracking who created the account of course.
It is possible, I just signed up for one recently while using Tails. I was not required to use either email or phone number. Stop spreading misinformation.
Doesn't work for me: https://0x0.st/Xkw4.png
Maybe it only works for some people.
They said any service gets shut down. I registered a ProtonMail account without email or phone number. Proton also does not cooperate with anyone but Swiss authorities. It is obviously still possible.
You can also register without one on cock.li, if you don’t mind them being edgy middle-aged teenagers.
All services do eventually shut down, possibly moreso for higher privacy services, you might just disagree on when.
That is your argument? “Time destroys all things”? Really?
Yeah, when you think about it, one day the sun will explode and all these email services that don’t require backup emails will shut down. You got me there, champ.
