Proton has ties to Israel. What's a safe alternative? (lemmy.world)

Proton VPN/mail. It's often recommended as being safe, but I'm not so sure.

It has servers in Israel. Ties to Israel are never a good thing. Palantir, Epstein, etc are tied to Israel, and Israel also is known for its surveillance. It is also true that it's completely legal there for them to access and monitor any and all information that passes through VPNs or networks there.

I'm looking for a safe alternative that's privacy-conscious and isn't linked to Israel. Both mail and vpn (it's fine if they're separate). Please let me know if you guys know.

Not sure why people would downvote this completely reasonable question.

Unfortunately I don't know of any VPN services that actively oppose genocide. I would like to know as well.

It's part of the misery of living in the imperial core. The whole of capitalism is based on genocide, etc.

Thank you. I'm baffled by how complacent people are to Israel's involvement.

They don't necessarily need to oppose the genocide but just not host any servers in the area (since that means they've access to it).

it goes against the same sort of groupthink that maga and vote-blue-no-matter-who does.
