This is everyone's friendly reminder to use a password manager!

Every account needs its own unique and random password. It's also best to not reuse the same username on multiple accounts either as it's easy to track you that way.

It's best to assume the accounts you create will be hacked and used against you especially since you're a Trump supporter so use fake names where you can.

Write down your master password to your password manager and keep it somewhere safe, like in your gun safe. I recommend Bitwarden, its creator is from Florida and it's open source. 1Password is cucked Canadians, LastPass is asshole, and Dashlane is overpriced. Other options are KeePass if you want it local.

Anyone else notice there was no mass shootings until Covid is almost done with? I can't recall any mass shootings during 2020?

Accounts will have 2A protections.

A firewall will be used to keep illegal users out.

There will be only 2 options for gender.

The username "BigPepe" will be reserved for Big Mike.

Twitter will pay for the firewall as users flee their platform.

Don't worry, they'll stop counting so they can print some fake views to pump the numbers.

I've just read the PDF.

You're miss understanding keys.

They store your public key on their server which is fine and normal. You need to share your public key so others can securely message you.

What's not stored on their server is your private key.

Your public key encrypts messages to you and your private key decrypts them. If you never shared your public key then no one could encrypt a message to you.

I highly recommend you learn more about public and private key encryption.

You don't understand how public/private encryption works, do you?

The message can travel through anything and still be safe because it's encrypted with your public key. Only your private key, which is only on your phone, can decrypt it.

What you're think of is symmetric encryption when Signal and most of the internet uses asymmetric encryption.

True, but hard for the average person to get PGP up and running so most don't do it.

Them being another cucked company is reason enough. They'll cancel you at the drop of the hat for being on the right of AOC.

But we also have this too. https://privacy-watchdog.io/truth-about-protonmail/

The only safe solution is to host your own email.

Especially since the German government order them to set aside non-encrypted messages of one of their users.

No one should consider email private. Stick to Signal or Sessions for private conversations.

I've seen many users think the opposite. The word encryption gets thrown around a lot and people tend to get lost and follow the crowd.

That is not how it works.

If they're not online the encrypted message stays on their server until they do come online.

It's because PM has done some shady stuff in the past. Some could argue it's a honeypot.

What I do know is that it's another company that will ban you for whatever reason. Even worse, the people signing up don't fully understand how the encryption works. Only message to other PM users are encrypted, everything else is not.

I'm not a fan of Signal but they don't store you encryption keys. We know this because if you add Signal to a new app your old messages don't carry over.

I like Session better because they don't ask for a phone number but whatever works for people. Signal is still better than Protonmail as email was never meant to be private but Signal and Session were.

Message are only encrypted if you're emailing other PM users. Most people don't have an PM account so most of your emails are not encrypted.

For private conversations stick to Signal or Session as they were design for this from the start unlike email.

Ideally you should host your own email but it cost money.

I pay my domain provider $15 a year and I get two mailboxes. I own the domain so I can't be canceled and my emails are not being sold to the highest bidder either.

No one should be using Protonmail anyway, lots of odd things with them a simple DDG search will reveal.

You should be running your own domain and your own email storage. The only person that can cancel you is yourself.

Not only is it simple to do, but cheaper than Protonmail too! For example, gandi.net gives you two mailboxes with the purchase of a domain at $15 a year. You own the domain, and the contents are not being shared.

Also, email should be consider public. Protonmail is only encrypting message to other Protonmail users. So email coming from and out are not encrypted and nothing is stopping PM from storing those in plaintext if given a warrant.

For private messages stick to Signal or even better get Session as it doesn't use a phone number. Email was never design to be private, but Signal and Session were.

The dark markets don't use Bitcoin for the very reason in the article I posted. Bitcoin is not private and is traceable, the perfect money for governments who want full control.

It's Monero that is used for the dark markets as it's not traceable. Monero is what many people think Bitcoin is.
