Very insightful and well written! These Age verification laws are going to far and were never about the kids to being with.

I’ve never heard of Amnezia VPN, but agree with Mullvad. ProtonVPN is also up there

I personally don’t have GrapheneOS, but as far as I know, Google Pay doesn’t work, but banking apps should (from what I’ve read)

I agree with the Trump thing kinda being blown out of proportion, but I haven’t heard about the vibe coding part? I know there was one point where they used ChatGPT for something and were called out for the irony of it, but I don’t think they are majorly vibe coded. Because everything is open source, and they routinely get audited, I trust them enough to use their products. I do agree however, that not having all your eggs in one basket is a better ideology from a security standpoint. From a convenience standpoint (and wife factor), I pay for everything Proton :P.

Ahh yes, I remember the whole controversy. I still think Proton as an ecosystem, and a product are still great for what they are, and for promoting privacy regardless of what Andy said using the official Proton account. (negative IQ play).

Regardless, GrapheneOS is still the staple in terms of limiting, or out right removing Google from your phone.

Why do you say not the best move for Proton?
