@protonprivacy Are there any plans on integrating SimpleLogin further soon? I frequently want to initiate sending emails, but it's a huge PITA to do so using SimpleLogin aliases, so I just go back to Gmail a lot of the time. It's really frustrating that it's been so long since the SL acquisition but I still can't send emails easily with my main email service.

@mr_rustbot We're currently working on further integration of Proton Pass and SimpleLogin, particularly making the SimpleLogin aliases available in Proton Pass. Stay tuned to our channels for updates!

Així que Espanya va enviar una de les seves ordres xusques a Suïssa (d'aquelles que anomenen terroristes a Tsunami –LOL), Suïssa va requerir a i això va acabar descobrint la identitat d'una persona (a través del seu mail de recuperacio i un requeriment a Apple), i en la seva detenció.

Aneu amb compte i no doneu per fet que un servei segur/encriptat us converteix en anònims.

@xevhi @outlyer Note that the recovery address (which was the only thing we had access to and could provide regarding this account) is an optional recovery method, and not the only one we offer: https://proton.me/support/set-account-recovery-methods

How predictable is your chosen PIN number? You’d be surprised!

Here’s why you might want to start choosing a less predictable PIN: https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/most-common-pin-codes/

@protonprivacy would it be possible to share a file or folder on granting write permission with password protection? is there anything on roadmap?

@maccath @dmakovec We also provide an official Proton Mail onion site for use with the Tor network for those seeking anonymity.

It’s also important to differentiate that VPN is not classified as a communication tool in Switzerland — Proton VPN does not log IPs and there are no existing Swiss laws that can compel us to do so.

I just filled out the @protonprivacy user survey after someone else mentioned it asked about AI and crypto. I made my feelings as a paying user known: please no AI or crypto but if you must, the default should be opt-in.

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social avatar

@cmdln Hi there, and thanks for the feedback!

Proton currently uses AI in Proton Sentinel (opt in for subscribers and helps to prevent account takeovers) and any future applications will depend on community interest and demand.

So far loving @protonprivacy and the roll out to the family group is progressing well. Received the survey that apparently is a regular thing for Proton community members, asking some pretty good questions about what I am looking for as a user for them to focus their attention on... And then the inevitable questions about AI came up. 🙄 There are so many things that are missing from the entire suite that means I am hesitant to recommend Proton to others without a bunch of caveats, despite enjoying it overall, and they are instead looking to get some AI functionality added to it.

Please, please don't go down this path, Proton! AI bullshit is part of why I am getting Google out of my life and if it is seen as the exciting new thing by Proton, then it will also be the reason why I get Proton out of my life.

@KellyandRoger Hi there, and thanks for the feedback!

We currently use AI in Proton Sentinel (to help prevent account takeovers even when an attacker has stolen your password). This feature is available for subscribers and off by default requiring manual activation.

Any future applications will depend on community interest and demand.

Uh oh.

@protonprivacy is sending a survey in which they ask if we want them to add in their product.

As someone who uses AI on a daily basis, I beg you, please, guys, don’t.

Nobody needs AI to read or send encrypted emails, to connect to a VPN, to add an event to a calendar, to create and store credentials, to backup or share encrypted files.

Don’t become dumb followers of this sinking world.

@christophe Not all AI is generative AI, like ChatGPT. What we use in Sentinel is a more traditional machine learning approach, used to prevent email abuse for a long time now and has nothing to do with generative AI.

I've been using them for years but if @protonprivacy starts using training AI based on my email I'm closing my account the very same day.

@ben Hi there, Proton already uses AI in Proton Sentinel. Future applications would depend on community interest and demand.

Rest assured we would never use your email for any sort of training purposes. Proton is and always will be private by default.

I forgot to include it in @protonprivacy 's survey, but would like to see a mobile keyboard. I am not sure if it fits within the portfolio since most of the apps you offer have some cloud aspect involved, but I think it would be awesome to have a private keyboard with all the capabilities of GBoard or SwiftKey without the spooky corporate hands behind them. I am currently using FlorisBoard which is quite nice, but it is not Gboard. Also having sync would be nice.

Saw some folks on here talking about a survey from #ProtonMail, and noting that @protonprivacy was on Mastodon.

A plea went out to make sure to tell Proton in no uncertain terms that dabbling with AI would spell their doom. I agree.

Any service that is about privacy should have NOTHING to do with AI or LLMs... they are the antithesis of privacy.

@kelvin0mql Hi Kelvin, even if you upgrade your plan, Proton Sentinel is off by default and must be manually enabled.

Proton Sentinel helps to protect your account against takeovers even when an attacker has stolen your password. Also, this is not generative AI like ChatGPT, but rather a more traditional machine learning approach, used to prevent email abuse for a long time now.
